Mindset Matters Steven Shuel

If you have ever wondered if mindset matters, I submit to you the following: One of the great human athletic accomplishments occurred on May 6, 1954, in Oxford, England. Roger Bannister, a medical student from Oxford University, ran the mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds, setting a world record. Even more important, he broke the four-minute mile barrier, something athletes had eyed since the 1880s. For 75 years, this barrier (the sub-four-minute mile) refused to be broken. Just 46 days later, an Australian runner also ran a sub-four-minute mile. Within a year, three more people had broken the four-minute barrier. What happened? Had training and human performance suddenly taken a quantum leap? It was all about belief. What changed that day in May 1954 was that a psychological barrier had crumbled. A long-held belief was shattered that day in Oxford. Mindsets changed. What was impossible the day before was now possible, and person after person stepped up and did the impossible because one person showed them the way. This is a book about changing your mindset.
