      Acknowledgements

      This is a book I've had in my mind for a long while, it was inspired by the phenomenal coaches and teachers I have had the great privilege and opportunity to train with through my 40+ years in the martial arts and my 59 years of living.

      To my first and best coaches, my Mom and Dad, thank you for the direction you continued to try to point me in. Congratulations, it worked.

      To Donna, thank you for encouraging me to write, and standing by me. You are my Girl, you are my best friend, and the love I've found with you is something most people just dream of. You drive me to reach for more every day. You complete my WORLD!

      To my coaches in personal development and mental performance, Jim Brault, Brian Tracy, Anthony Robbins, and the countless others that have influenced me as a coach, thank you for your guidance and your knowledge. You taught me to ask the question, How can I accomplish this? Then, how to seek the answers. To all my teachers in the martial arts and my training partners over the past 40+ years, Thank you from the very core of my being. If it were not for you, I may have ended up being uninspired, unmotivated, under achieved, unsuccessful, and unremarkable. You were the guiding light on my life journey. You have my undying gratitude for your presence and influence!

      To April Hartsook, thank you for writing the foreword for The Mind Game Of Competition. You are a modern ICON of how to make real changes in our lives! You are an inspiration to millions. Your Want Different Do Different™ It's More than Fitness Health and Wellness Movement and lifestyle, has helped so many to improve their LIVES. Your energy is unfathomable. You are definitely an Iron Woman. Thank You!

      To my friend, Phil Migliarese, Your influence on so many, your skill as a teacher and technician, and your diligence to become a strong leader has made you truly wise beyond our years. Thanks for being who you are. To Jed Michael, the quintessential healer and trainer. You have been a sounding board for me to bounce things off, and to think deeply into possibility. Your potential is greater than you realize. Thank you.

      To thousands of students, clients, and those I've had the opportunity to coach, help reach your goals and exceed your potential, thank you for allowing me that opportunity.

      To you, the reader, thank you for your interest in making yourself that much better. Without you, I would have little encouragement to write and share the priceless lessons in this book. Use these lessons and you will soar above the competition!

      Foreword

      The only thing the truly sets individuals apart from one another is their ability to conquer their minds. Distinguishing fear based, from fact based actions and responses, allows us to overcome obstacles and achieve desired outcomes. Our thoughts are masterpieces of mental indulgence, always demanding us to harness their power again and again. Inviting us to dig deeper, expand broader, and evoke the necessary change from within, for profound personal growth.

      Often times we see the world as our competitor and our enemy. In reality it is the image of the world that we fight, and it is that image that paralyzes us. How we see it, and how we believe it sees us. The goal in life is not simply to exist; it is and should always be, to overcome: self, adversity, ego and fear. My role as a change agent on this planet is to teach individuals that change begins with a thought that is then followed by an action that is different from the way they have always done. In order to cease their repetitive nature and comfort of dysfunction their thinking must be altered. Only then can they embrace the possibility of a once unachievable result.

      Kevin and I are very similar in the thought/action principle. Hence the reason I believe he asked me to write this foreword. After all, great minds think alike!

      The Mind Game of Competition is an action required book designed to educate, teach and invoke action to achieve greatness. Kevin Seaman has written a step-by-step guide that enlightens your journey by providing essential lessons and tools necessary to become a true champion in your life. Drawing on the synergies of the physical, mental and emotional aspects of competition, Kevin provides solution driven principles that will transform your thought processes and allow unbelievable results. I have spent many years writing and teaching similar ideals and principles, and I found myself motivated and inspired as I witnessed his alternative applications to those very same ideals.

      This book helps provide you with an understanding of who you are at this moment, coupled with an uncovering of who you want to be moving forward. Every lesson is designed to help you utilize the tools around you in order to become all that you were meant to be. In the ever-changing realm of competition, Kevin provides the insight and initiative required to carry out all of your ambitious goals, no matter how unattainable you once thought they were.

      This Mind Game of Competition invites you to carve a distinctive path of unbelievable success for yourself. Competition is everywhere in all things, but application of the lessons found in this book can and will allow you to overcome anything. Go deep within your mind and learn how and why you think the way you do. Apply new techniques to propel and energize you forward, all the while reminding you that navigating this labyrinth we call life requires information, coupled with action. I have always proclaimed if you Want Different Do Different™. I invite you to delve into this book deeply, process its contents again and again, and then apply them to your life on a daily basis. Stop fighting the world and start conquering yourself!

      "Winners dwell on and hold the self-image of

      that person they would most like to become. They

      get a vivid, clear, emotional, sensory picture of

      themselves as if they had already achieved that

      new role in their life."

      This book is dedicated to the men and women

      who have or seek that vision.

      Lesson One

      Seeking Your Path

      It's amazing, in the BLINK of an eye you finally see the light. -Aerosmith

      It's hard to describe, this burning desire. You think about it more each day. It's as if something from inside of you is pushing, driving you to do something that most people would never consider. You struggle to understand it, to make sense of this feeling, the excitement building within you to COMPETE.

      To some people who watch competitive sports, it could be construed as a stressful activity, a waste of time, a silly game. To that untrained eye it is a chaotic furry of human free for all. To you, however it is as technical as chess, more challenging then anything you've ever experienced. To you it is a quest, a quest for excellence that starts from within.

      That is where we will begin, within…

      It would be no surprise to anyone if I were to say that in Athletics, also referred to as Competitive Sports, you must be in exceptional condition to compete at an amateur level, let
