The Only Way to Win:Introduction

Jim Loehr

We are honored and excited to have this new series from my friend Jim Loehr, the man who created the term mental toughness and has continued to research and refine the relationships between head, heart, soul, and high performance in sports and life. Now Jim is starting to put his life's work in perspective with a new book, The Only Way to Win. (Click Here.) In this series he talks about what winning really is and how character is what counts in any field of endeavor.

Introduction

Jim Loehr is a legendary pioneer in the field of human performance. An elite tennis player himself who still competes nationally in USTA events, Jim created the field of Mental Toughness training with his revolutionary study of elite pro players. He has been one of the most influential voices in tennis and tennis coaching for over 30 years, and is the author of multiple best selling books.

He has expanded his influence far beyond sports with the creation of the Human Performance Institute where he and his staff have worked with hundreds of leaders in business, law enforcement, and military special forces. For the last decade he has also directed an academy for junior players helping young people learn what winning in life really means.
