“I can’t tell you how many times I refer to this book (YOUR Mental Toughness Playbook) every day when I’m going through the daily grind. I’ve been blessed to have the author Ben Newman as my friend, motivational and spiritual leader.”

“The Passion for the Process and Trust presentation Ben gave our 4-time National Championship football team was right on the money and was timed perfectly as we begin to head into Spring football and we continue to build on our great tradition. His energy and enthusiasm was felt throughout the entire room. Our work outs now end with ‘Max Effort….Pays Off’.”

“Ben’s passion, his presentation skills and most importantly simple and real life stories that everyone can relate too, create the most powerful and emotional moments that produce passion and “can do attitude’. We (the entire leadership team) still talk among our teams about points that Ben made during his speech, everyone gets it and everyone feels motivated to ‘fight the good fight’ as Ben would say it.”

“The energy and enthusiasm for life in the room was was off the charts during Ben’s presentation. The LEGACY and mental toughness message that was delivered inspired all of us to strive for our potential as we prepare together for the next chapter of our Creighton Basketball program.”

“Ben, you had more than a few of us in tears. We laughed, we cried. It was the most trans-formative meeting of Leadership for Change ever. It was the first standing ovation ever! Your words gave us the opportunity to appreciate ourselves, each other, the mission that brings us together and the difference we make.”

“Ben, your talk was a life changer! The athletes that you talked to at the University of Iowa were blown away from your amazing presentation. Even by being a swimmer, I was able to relate to every story that you told. I AM AN 19.22 SPRINT FREESTYLER! Thanks again and hope to see you again soon.”

“Ben has a fantastic message. The emphasis of working hard on the process and MAXIMUM EFFORT hit home with Wolves Football. His positive, high-energy attitude is contagious and inspiring.”

“Ben Newman is truly inspiring, knowledgeable, giving and energetic. He believes in what he says, he believes in who he is saying it to and he wants any and everyone to reach their highest potential. I would cherish an opportunity to have him come back some day and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone wanting to improve their current energy situation. I would like to end this simply, he is really good at what he does!”

“I re-read “Own Your Success” before the Xterra Triathlon World Championship on 10.27.2014 and I am convinced the mental component is what brought HUGE success at the race. I went from not qualifying last year to coming in 4th!!! 4th IN THE WORLD in my age group!!!!! It was magical. The beauty is knowing I couldn’t have pushed harder mentally or physically that day and having an unbelievable result.”

“Thanks for being a part of making Top 20. Prizefighter Days make it Happen.”
