Reviews
"... Grant Parr's The Next One Up Mindset gives real-life examples of just how fragile we can be but also how incredibly powerful at the same time. To overcome opponents and self-sabotage takes as much, if not more, mental training than the physical side of sports..."

"Reflecting on my athletic experience and my career as a public company CFO, qualities such as intelligent tenacity, teamwork, leadership, and communication are the foundations of winning and succeeding, and Grant sums it up brilliantly."

"When I played with the San Francisco 49ers, one of our team mantras was 'one-heartbeat.' We used it as a way to come together as a team and know that we were ready to meet whatever we might encounter on the football field. I was reminded of that saying as I read Grant Parr's excellent book and encountered his advice for how we can, as team and as individuals, rise up to meet the unexpected."
