FOCUS: How to Reach Your Potential in Sport, Business and Life by Tiffany Mika is a practical guide to helping people achieve high performance by developing the right mindset, habits, and action plan. Published in 2019, the book is aimed at athletes, coaches, business professionals, and anyone pursuing ambitious goals.
The core message is that hard work alone isn't enough. Tiffany argues that lasting success comes from combining clear focus with a structured game plan, consistent action, and belief in yourself. As she describes it, focus is a skill that helps you turn goals into results through deliberate daily habits rather than relying on motivation alone.
Some of the key topics covered include:
-
Going after your ultimate dream – defining what you truly want, understanding why it matters, and identifying the deeper reasons ("7 Level Whys") that keep you committed when challenges arise.
-
Believing in yourself – building confidence, strengthening self-belief, and learning to manage emotions under pressure.
-
Creating an action game plan – breaking large goals into practical, measurable steps instead of simply hoping that working harder will be enough.
-
Developing winning habits – establishing routines and disciplines that support consistent improvement in sport, work, and everyday life.
-
Bouncing back from setbacks – using mistakes and failures as learning opportunities rather than reasons to quit. Tiffany often refers to this as making "the comeback."
The book is influenced by Tiffany Mika's own experiences as a professional tennis player and later as a performance coach. Through stories, exercises, and reflective questions, she encourages readers to:
-
Dream big.
-
Believe in themselves.
-
Take purposeful action every day.
-
Build resilience through discipline and consistency.
Unlike a technical sports psychology textbook, FOCUS is written in an accessible, motivational style with practical exercises that readers can apply immediately. Its lessons are intended to transfer across sport, business, and personal development, making it suitable for athletes, entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone striving to reach their potential. (
