Jim Murphy knows how to win.
He’s trained everyone from world #1 golfers, to Olympic athletes and MLB teams. But even he was shocked when his 2009 book Inner Excellence went MEGA viral this year thanks to a surprise shoutout from NFL star A.J. Brown.
Let me set the scene…
In the middle of the NFL Wild Card game between Philadelphia and Green Bay, millions caught the Eagles wide receiver casually reading Inner Excellence . On the bench. Between drives.
The next day, Jim’s book shot from 523,497th to No. 1 on Amazon’s trending list.
I soon found out there’s nothing typical about Jim Murphy’s success story. After leaving pro baseball, he spent years chasing answers: coaching in South Africa, interviewing 39 MLB leaders for his master’s thesis, even retreating alone into the desert for 40 days. What he discovered reshaped everything he believed about winning.
