August Book Club: Inner Excellence

August Book Club Pick: Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy

How to Perform Under Pressure by Leading from Within

If you’ve ever felt like your mindset is holding you back more than your fitness, this book is for you. Each month, we read a book that strengthens the inner game because physical training only gets you so far without mental clarity and resilience. For August, the Aloha Athletics Book Club is reading Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy a must-read for any athlete who wants to perform with more clarity, presence, and purpose.

This isn’t just about motivation or surface-level mindset tips. It’s about learning to show up fully in the moment with trust in yourself and the work you’ve done. Inner Excellence helps you build the mental toughness to perform under pressure, train your subconscious mind, overcome the mental blocks that hold you back, and develop empowering habits that stick, both in sport and in life.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to stay calm and focused under pressure
• What it means to trust your training and compete with freedom
• How to develop true mental toughness and emotional resilience
• Ways to train your subconscious and rewire old patterns
• How to shift from fear-driven performance to purpose-driven growth
• Habits that support long-term confidence and clarity
