The Process Takes Perspective

Dr Rob Bell has written eight books on mental toughness and puts out a sport psychology podcast called 15 Minutes of Mental Toughness. Since 2006 he's consulted with hundreds of athletes, coaches, and teams. He also currently serves as a Sport Psychology coach for Indy Eleven pro soccer team, and University of Notre Dame. He has worked with winners on the PGA Tour, an Olympic Silver medalist, ATP Champion, and the 2013 USTA National Champion. He has spoken to Marriott, and Walgreens and has caddied over 20+ events on professional golf tours. A former university professor, Dr. Bell has been featured on ESPN, The Golf Channel, Runner's World, NY Times and Stack Magazine. Connect with Dr. Bell on his website, Twitter Profile, YouTube Channel, and Facebook Page.

His new book which we discuss today is I Can't Wait to Be Patient. The book discusses why we mistake urgency with importance, and why sometimes going slowly helps us arrive quicker at our goals. The big takeaway: "The Process takes perspective, the product takes patience."
