THE GREATEST BOXING COACH IN HISTORY ‘The Cus D’Amato Mind’ teaches the principles and philosophies of the great trainer D’Amato, which took young boys such as Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson to the heavyweight championship in a few short years. THE MAN WHO MADE MIKE TYSON In 1980, a young Mike Tyson was in the Tryon school for juvenile delinquents. By the age of 13, Mike had already been arrested dozens of times, had suffered bullying, and often engaged in criminal activities like armed robbery and house burglary. He was heading down a certain path to death or a life of prison. Fast forward six years later, and Mike Tyson had become the youngest heavyweight champion at 20 years old, after destructively crafting a route to the top. What had happened? How could such a change happen in such a short space of time? The answer is Cus D’Amato. The great boxing coach Cus D’Amato was a revolutionist. He was a modern-day philosopher. He was a leader who changed the lives of those he helped. Cus would literally take juvenile kids of the street, and house them in his fourteen-room mansion. Impressively, he was able to instill them with the character of champions, so they would be able to go out and conquer the world, whether they were fighters or not. Cus D’Amato created champions. LEARN HIS SECRETS In this book, we break down the mental strategies that any fighter (or anyone) can use in order to excel towards greatness. Fighters all over the world are able to acquire trainers that can teach technique. But they are unable to find teachers, like the Cus D’Amato’s and the Angelo Dundee’s, who can instill them with charismatic confidence, and help them deal with anxiety and fear before matches. The book consists of five sections. Each section is designed to empower you in a different area. The five sections are: • Character • Fear • Anxiety • Resistance • Leadership Without knowing what makes a champion, and how you can become one too, you will never be able to achieve it. After learning what makes ‘The Cus D’Amato Mind’, you will be more charismatic, confident, with a greater sense of control over your path to boxing greatness.

Timeless Power and Knowledge
This book is the one of the shortest, concise, easily readable versions of the "secret" This book was the beginning of it all to me. 3 years later I'm manifesting my life and getting it to work for me the way i want it to work. I do not box. I'm an electrical contractor. This book introduced me to the idea of anything being possible and also kicked off an obsession with reading on the topics covered in this book. I have read it many times and have given many people copies as a gift. Read it, the stuff in it matters, timeless, extremely important! Good luck, Jon.

Great addition to your library
I would highly advise any fighter or even a college student to purchase this book. It speaks on dealing with fear, anxiety and how they can be of use to propel you to championship status. Also will use Cus quotes & real life examples on how to live by them.

Very good guide for boxers with some good tips for everyone.
Cus D’Amato was a legendary boxing trainer, most notably as the person who took a troubled young man named Mike Tyson and made him one of the most feared heavyweight champions during the peak of his boxing career. This book takes some of the best tips and advice D’Amato gave his fighters and is presented as a guide that is quick and easy to read and digest. While it is a very good guide for boxers and that is the targeted audience, much of the advice provided such as confidence and facing one’s fears can be used by any person for just about any facet of one’s life. For that reason, I recommend this book for anyone not just boxers.

What an INCREDIBLE READ!!!!
First and foremost I want to truly thank Reemus for creating a masterpiece with this book - as an avid reader of all genres of literature, and a history reading well over 60/70 books from just these past 5 years I can honestly say that this book is personally in my top 5 books I've ever read and I don't say that lightly! Reemus has done a phenomenal job at being able to philosophically explain how the great Cus D'amato curated great champions, especially the beloved Mike Tyson! One thing I learned very early in life is that great information can be universally applied to more than just one thing, especially what it was originally created for, I say that to say, even if you're not a boxer - this is a great life book to read. For those who isn't a boxer or even a boxing fan. Please purchase this read and put yourself in the shoes of a boxer... When he says "Boxer" replace that with yourself, When he says "Ring" replace that with stage or the place where you can showcase your skills, When he says "Gym" replace with wherever you spend the most time at curating your skills and when he says "Championship" replace that with your ultimate goal... Enjoy my friends!

Cus' principles can be applied to all aspects of your life
Recently I purchased the online motivational program, "12 Rounds With Tyson." It contains 12 videos of "Iron Mike," talking about how to become a champion in the ring, and in life. I was so impressed with it that I ordered two books about him from Amazon. Of course, he had a lot to say about his mentor, Cus D'Amato. This peaked my interest and that's why I bought this book. Cus trained Floyd Patterson, who became, at the time, the youngest world heavyweight champion in history at 21. Then he took a 12 year old hoodlum named Mike Tyson off the street and made him the youngest world heavyweight champion at 20 years old. This book was written, primarily, for boxers, but the principles can be used by practitioners of any martial art. Truthfully, they can be applied to all aspects of your life. This book contains gold and I highly recommend it.

Very few know about the immense power and potential of fear. This was why I had to purchase. I recommend to anyone, especially boxers. “The Fear Of The LORD Is The Beginning Of Wisdom”
