“I’m far from what you’d call a sportsman. I played pee-wee football for a year growing up and hated it. So you might think this book isn’t for me . . . but you’d be wrong. Applying its principles to my daily life has been a revelation. The Internal Game Plan challenges you to show up for yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically every day. I went from overweight, unmotivated, and depressed to valuing how I feel, how I look, and how I show up. This book created real change in my life, and it can do the same for you.”

“My husband and I are self-proclaimed nerds, and when we realized our son was going to be a college athlete, we knew we were out of our depth—that’s when we turned to Charles and the Internal Game Plan. The principles laid out within the book have given my son an incredible pathway for growth and leadership. It has boosted his self-confidence, helped him shape and influence the cohesion on his team, and also helped confirm what is and isn’t in his control. He will carry these valuable skills he’s cultivated with him throughout his personal and professional life.”

“I don’t play sports. I don’t watch sports. But this isn’t about sports. It’s about being on a team, in a community, in a group, in a world where we can and should be supporting and encouraging each other. And the Internal Game Plan shows us how to do that. The principles in this book are relatable and actionable. It’s a powerful reminder that mental, emotional, and physical well-being comes from putting in the work every day. It’s helped me tremendously, and it’s also given me something meaningful to share with my son as he builds his own internal game. Do yourself and the people in your world a favor: Buy this book and do what he says. You’ll thank me for it.”

—Hilary English, mindfulness instructor from Fairfield, Connecticut

“Internal Game Plan changed everything for me. It gave me structure and a system I can follow every day. When my mind feels scattered, I now have tools to regain focus and take intentional action. Instead of reacting to life, I’ve learned how to lead it. The book has helped me sharpen my discipline and put me on a clear path toward success in both my personal life and my business. I check in with it daily as a reminder to keep building and strengthening my own internal game plan.”
