Can reading a personal finance book really make you a better athlete?
Absolutely!
As I explain in The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery, your best tools for peak performance are sleep, nutrition, and stress management. Less stress, better recovery. And one smart way to reduce your stress is to get a handle on your money—and your relationship to it.
I made a list of my top-5 books for athletes to up their game, and it’s live now at Shepherd. Read it here!
This list also has some more obvious choices from fantastic writers on endurance sports and performance more generally: Matt Fitzgerald, Steve Magness, and Brad Stulberg. Any of their books—and the classic Getting Things Done, by David Allen—will help you feel more capable at focusing your attention on the things that matter.
