In Winning Is an Inside Job, you are invited into the world of mental strength, personal growth and taking control of your own development. Marit Bouwmeester, the most successful sailor of all time, shares her personal journey, lessons and insights, enriched by the sports psychology expertise of Nico W. Van Yperen, Professor of Sport Psychology. Together, they offer a rare and powerful combination of science and experience about performing at your very best.

This is not a book about winning medals alone. It is an honest, inspiring and deeply human story about what it truly takes to pursue excellence. You are taken inside life at the highest level of sport: the triumphs, the doubts, the setbacks, and the growth that emerges along the way.

Winning Is an Inside Job is a guide for anyone who wants to unlock their potential and perform with confidence and joy—not only in sport, but also at work, in education, on stage and in everyday life.
