The Underdog Mentality is the attitude of never giving up in the face of adversity. It’s the belief that anything is possible if you have the drive and determination to overcome any obstacle in the way of your goals.
Written by our founder, Tyler O’Shea, the stories in this book prove that talent alone isnβt what separates the winners β itβs resilience, work ethic, and an unshakable mindset.
Inside, you’ll meet:
- A beer truck delivery driver who became an NFL All-Pro
- A soft-throwing D3 pitcher who became an MLB flamethrower
- A California “beach bum” who lied his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame
- An unpaid intern with zero playing experience who became an award-winning general manager
- And many, many more…
This book is more than a collection of stories. It’s a roadmap for anyone who’s ever been told, “You can’t.”
Within the first day, The Underdog Mentality hit the top-10 in two Amazon Best Seller categories, surging past authors like Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Deion Sanders.
