Craig's Vault relies on a curated collection of foundational texts to power our daily training. Among them, Mind Gym: An Athlete's Guide to Inner Excellence by Gary Mack and David Casstevens has fundamentally shifted how I approach performance over 55.
Our "Permission to Win" drills are built directly on the elite sports psychology frameworks established in this book. Mack and Casstevens detail how the mind can either be a senior's greatest obstacle or their ultimate asset when reclaiming physical fitness and agility.
By grounding our approach in proven athletic psychology, we bridge the gap between mental discipline and physical execution—ensuring you have a clear blueprint to stop hesitating, step off the sidelines, and win the start to your day.
