Let It Be Tough

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Harness pressure, reframe fear and perform at your best when it matters most.

Rather than teaching people how to excel under pressure, Ant Williams, a psychologist working in elite sport, decided to practise what he preached, and took up sports that scared him. First freediving and then ice diving, Ant set two world records and proved that the mental techniques that he used could build resilience and help him thrive in life's most challenging moments.

In Let it be Tough, Ant shows that mental toughness isn't born - it's trained. Through gripping personal stories, science-backed strategies and practical techniques, Ant shows you how to recognise the hard moment you're in, pause with purpose, and move forward with confidence and clarity - even when the pressure is intense.

Let it be Tough shows you how to:

build mental resilience and thrive in challenging situations
develop confidence in the face of uncertainty
stay calm and clear-headed in difficult times
develop a performance mindset in everyday life
take bold, decisive action when it matters most.
