Every single day in my office, I get phone calls from parents, players, coaches, and business leaders. There's a very common theme when they call: the game, or whatever arena in which they are competing, has suddenly become punishing. They're lost, struggling, or confused as to why the game or other competitive environments that they have loved for so long, are all of the sudden becoming a burden.
It's not just that it has become hard. It has become unrelenting. Everything that they do during the course of the day, every practice they go to, and every competition leaves them with a bad taste in their mouth. They feel like their calling is now a burden, and they've lost who they are. It was so common that I decided to write a book about it. Break Free From Suckville is that book. The reason I wrote it was because I felt like we needed to explore a little more deeply as to why our athletes and competitors get in that position.
