November Pick
PlayFreely®: The Spiritual Key to Athletic Excellence
What if your best performances, on and off the field, didn’t come from trying harder, but from letting go?
In PlayFreely®, former international coach Denise Holland draws on more than thirty years in elite sport to reveal a transformative approach to performance and fulfilment.
This isn’t another strategy manual or a list of mental tricks. Instead, Denise shares seven discoveries that challenge everything we think we know about coaching, pressure, and success. Through powerful stories and deep insights, she shows how freedom, clarity, and confidence, not control, lead to consistent excellence.
Discover how to:
• Access peak performance from clarity and flow
• Compete with composure, whatever the stakes
• Thrive beyond outcomes and expectations
Whether you’re an athlete, leader, coach, or high performer in any field, PlayFreely® will help you transcend limitations and reconnect with the joy that fuels real success.
