“Read more. TV, phones and computers always seems to take over and recently I have begun reading a sports psychology book ‘That Winning Feeling’ by Jane Savoie, because of a recommendation from a client and it is so insightful.. It will certainly have more benefit to me than watching X Factor!!! So I plan to read much more before technology takes over me! “
