Author Description

Finding Greatness Within: Ice Skating shows you how to find personal greatness on and off the ice. In easy-to-read language, author Tom Mitchell guides the way to the inner athlete. Combining messages, exercises, illustrations, and affirmations, he invites the skater to "Having a Burning Desire," "Practice with a Purpose," and to "Welcome the Pressure." Although primarily targeting performance on the ice, Mitchell suggests that skaters are much more than athletes. In chapters such as "Let Your Emotions Out," "Believe in Yourself," and "Appreciate What You Have," the author integrates skating with the whole person.
