James Coppinger played professional football for a remarkable 24 years, across all four divisions, making more than 800 appearances. From the start it was a rollercoaster journey: a Sunday League amateur at 16; then signed by Premier League giants, Newcastle United at 17 before plunging down into non-league football at 21 as he drunk, gambled, became sucked into a loser’s mentality and hit rock bottom.
In this book you’ll find out the life-changing trigger for Coppinger’s transformation as he tells his story from the perspective of his increasingly professional mindset. His words will educate and inspire aspiring footballers - in fact anyone with an interest in personal development - who wants to fulfil their potential.
"Insightful look into the
mentality it takes to make
it at the elite level"
"I found this book really interesting and it offered good insight into what it takes to make it at the elite level. As a Sport Psychologist, I was pleased to see the considered and systematic approach to the mental side of the game. The book offered great background and strategies around how to maximise one of the keys to high performance, the mind. It breaks down exactly what traits and skills are needed to make it at the top level, all whilst embedded in Coppinger's own story that teaches the reader key lessons in resilience, determination and leadership"

"The secret strategies to master the mental game"
"Talent alone is never enough!
