Summary of Ralph DiBugnara's The Growth Trap

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I had to lose my confidence and then regain it in order to believe that there are no limits to what I can accomplish. I had completely lost my confidence on the field and the court. In 2003, my career was booming, and I decided to learn how to box like a professional.#2 I had started boxing again, this time with a friend who was a trainer. I had never heard of an intergym fight, but I had to fight a month later. I was nervous as hell. The guy I fought was a little bigger and stronger than me, and I was definitely outmatched.#3 I won my first boxing match, which gave me a new lease on my athletic ability that I enjoy to this day. I continued boxing for the next four or five years. I fought another fifteen or twenty times. Every time I went to fight someone, I was still uncomfortable, but I gained more confidence.#4 Monica Seles was a famous American tennis player who was once number one in the world. She was attacked by a crazy fan in 1993, and despite the traumatic attack, she worked her way back to regaining self-assuredness.
