"You can't achieve million-dollar goals if your self-worth is bankrupt" The world of competitive swimming is very intense, to say the least, with swimmers in search of the magic that will take them to the top. Could the secret lie in the latest swimsuit design, an innovative training technique, or a cutting-edge diet? Perhaps, but I believe an essential mental quality known as self-worth tops them all. Simply put, if you want to achieve important things in your swimming life, you must first feel important, and nothing else matters more than this. Building that feeling is the singular purpose of this book. Please take it's message to heart as the "magic" ultimately lies within you. -Nick Baker
