Praise for WIN TODAY “I still remember how much Josh impressed me in that first interview with the Cubs back in 2014. We brought him in to work with our young players and build within them a championship mindset. I never expected him to be there for the front office as well, helping guide us through our own challenges, but he did that too. Uniquely creative in his approach, Josh became someone I could trust and lean on, and he was crucial to helping build the culture that led to our World Series victory.” —THEO EPSTEIN, Former Chicago Cubs President, Three-Time World Series-winning MLB Executive, Fortune magazine’s “World’s Greatest Leader” in 2017 “Josh is one of the world’s best mindset trainers, and I’m grateful God put him in my life. He has the unique ability to know just what to say to remind me of my abilities and keep me grounded and neutral no matter how difficult the circumstances. Daily conversations with Josh help me maintain my focus, my belief in myself, and my love for what I do, and I couldn’t ask for a better visionary.” —RUSSELL WILSON, Super Bowl-winning NFL Quarterback “Josh is incredibly observant and insightful. His energy and enthusiasm are unmatched, and he’s always a joy to be around because he creates a culture based on putting people first. I saw firsthand how his work impacted the players and coaches. It’s awesome that he’s now sharing his methods and mindset in this book, so everyone can have access to the training usually reserved for the best of the best.” —DAVID ROSS, Two-Time World Series Champion, Manager of the Chicago Cubs (2020–2023), author of New York Times bestseller Teammate “When you work with Josh, you get better. It’s really that simple. And we’re all so lucky that he has now put his approach and strategies on paper so we can learn how he has helped so many individuals and teams reach the pinnacle.” —DERIN MCMAINS, Host of No Show Dogs (Inc. magazine’s Top 5 Podcast for Leadership & Wellness), Director of Mental Performance at Reliaquest and the Arizona Diamondbacks “I had the great pleasure to work alongside Josh Lifrak and experience the ultimate high of winning a World Series Championship with the Chicago Cubs. His energy, passion, and depth of knowledge were evident from day one. Throughout our collaboration, Josh brought an unmatched level of enthusiasm and expertise. His deep understanding of mental skills and performance enhancement was instrumental in helping our players focus their minds and unlock their full potential.
