HI, I’M STEVE.
Getting better matters. So does who we become along the way.
I’m a writer and performance coach, and the author of Do Hard Things, Win the Inside Game, and the forthcoming Step Into the Arena.
I've spent a lifetime studying what it takes to get the most out of ourselves, to perform at our best when it matters most. And to do so in a way that is sustainable over a career and lifetime. In essence, how do we chase excellence without being consumed by the pursuit?
I explore those ideas through books, a newsletter read by more than 100,000 people, and my work with professional athletes, actors, and executives.
