What separates a truly great athlete from another who has trained just as hard? What can we do, day-to-day, to become the best versions of ourselves?
Sport inspires us to surpass our limits, face challenges, and develop emotional acumen that we can deploy in many aspects of life. Sport, a Stage for Life aims not just to inspire you, but to guide you in applying the lessons of sport so that you may evolve in your own journey of self-development and transformation.
In addition to their own success stories, Cristiana has gathered contributions and insights from world-renowned athletes and coaches, leading academics, physicians, and psychologists who share stories that inspire and support the scientific evidence about how we can turn human potential into a life of fulfillment and happiness.
The wealth of details enrich an approach that covers every aspect of training, behavior and mental preparation, performance, family structure, and all of the pillars that are key to the lives and careers of athletes. It is a must read for all those who aspire to a fulfilling life and to bringing out the very best in themselves, as it illustrates how behind every success story there is a long path filled with setbacks, challenges and moments of pain and glory.
Cristiana combines her personal story of life lessons and experiences with a genuine and dedicated interest in understanding the role and impact of sport on athletes throughout their lives. In her book, Cristiana recounts all of our stories as athletes at every level – from finding meaning and guidance, to gathering the strength to push past boundaries both in sport and in life.
In a way that is natural, honest and straightforward, Cris and Pedro have managed to capture, in incredible detail, the inspiring journey of the high performance athlete – sports lovers, like us. Thank you for including so many details that, in the end, make all the difference – not only in our professional lives but in our relationships around the world. “Sport – a Stage for Life” is a book that I will always enjoy consulting, reading and re-reading – a sports bible.
