S.C.O.R.E.: A FORMULA TO SUCCESS

I started on a book on Friday (April 15) and I must say, it is very interesting. I learnt something important about myself in just the first two chapters. The book is titled "S.C.O.R.E. For Life". It is written by Jim Fannin, author, consultant, mentor and mental coach for the world's top athletes and corporate executives. The book is a formula devised by Fannin to help people succeed in what they are doing. He is a sport coach and was a tennis player when he was young. He presents the Five Keys to Optimum Achievement as: SELF-DISCLIPLINE CONCENTRATION OPTIMISM RELAXATION ENJOYMENT Fannin says that when he was 10 he befriended an 82-year-old retired school teacher named Professor R. W. Ross. Ross, who coached children in sports, told him: "Change how a person thinks, and you will change how they feel. Change how they feel, and you will change how they perform. Change how they perform and you will change results. Change results and you will change lives." The book is published under Collins, NY, 2005. Check Fannin's site at: http://zonecoach.com/
