By Dr. Bill K. Thierfelder · Published by TAN Books
Overview
In Less Than a Minute to Go, Dr. Bill Thierfelder draws on his experience as an All‑American athlete and sports psychologist to reveal how elite performance in athletics can inform excellence in business, leadership, and daily life. He shows how preparation, mindset, and virtue intersect in the Catholic tradition of striving well, even when the clock is ticking.

- Offers concrete tools to prepare your mind to win when everything counts.
- Demonstrates that the virtues learned in sport form a foundation for leadership, service, and everyday witness.
