Winning Starts Within
A practical guide to training the mental side of performance.
Winning Starts Within introduces athletes, coaches, parents, and leaders to the core principles of mental performance training. Grounded in real-world experience and proven frameworks, the book focuses on awareness, emotional control, focus, and response — skills that can be trained, practiced, and applied in competition and in life.
This book serves as the philosophical foundation for Coach Ron’s mental performance training programs, including Athlete Level 1 — Foundations.

Into The Storm
A story about pressure, identity, and choosing who you become.
Into the Storm is a fictional narrative that explores mental performance through story rather than instruction. Set against the backdrop of competition and leadership, the book examines how individuals respond to adversity, uncertainty, and expectation — and how those moments shape identity and character.
This first installment introduces the deeper themes that continue throughout the Lighthouse Trilogy, offering readers a different way to reflect on performance, resilience, and growth.
