Most of us only see the finished product when it comes to sports. We don't see the physical toll that training plays on and athlete and we definitely don't see the mental toll that it plays. That is why I wanted to speak to my guest this week, Chris K. Jones. Chris is a recovering serial entrepreneur who quit at the peak of his career to honor the promise he made to himself at 19 that he would become a writer. Chris splits his time between Tarrytown, NY and Barbados, where he finds time to swim with turtles and observe cloud animals. Although he doesn’t have children, his inner eight-year-old keeps him on his toes. He is an extrovert who has decided to work in the world’s loneliest profession. Writing his first novel, Headcase, has been the best form of therapy he has ever had. In the novel, Dr. Andrew Beck is the go-to sports psychologist for troubled pro athletes. There isn’t a head he can’t fix—except his own. When his inner demons get the best of him, he misuses his insider access to athletes in a wager, which leads him down a path of blackmail, murder, and life-or-death bluffing. His only way out is to go all-in.
