What exactly do I receive when I purchase?
Two PDF files delivered instantly via download: (1) Card Deck PDF with 63 printable cards formatted for A4 printing, and (2) Ebook PDF with the same content in flowing book format. Both files are personalized with your full name on every card and page.
How does the personalization work?
When you purchase, you'll provide your full name (first and last). We generate your personalized PDFs within 24-48 hours and send you the download links. Your name appears in the footer of every card, on the ebook cover, dedication page, and throughout both documents—making this truly YOUR collection.
Can I print these on a regular printer?
Yes! The PDFs are designed for standard A4 paper on any home or office printer. We recommend duplex (double-sided) printing for cards so front and back are on the same sheet. Use heavier paper (100-120gsm) if you want more durable cards, or standard 80gsm office paper works fine for notes and repeated printing.
Is this only for athletes?
Absolutely not! While the framework comes from sport psychology research with elite athletes, the 13 mental skills apply to any performance domain. Executives use these principles for high-stakes presentations, musicians apply them to performance anxiety, surgeons use them for focus under pressure, and students apply them to exam performance. Peak performance is peak performance—the mental skills are universal.
Do I need to print the entire deck at once?
Not at all. Many users print just the intro cards plus the specific mental skills they're working on. If you're focusing on resilience, print those 10 modules. Preparing for a competition? Print the flow state and anxiety management modules. Since you own the PDFs forever, you can print and reprint whatever you need, whenever you need it.
What's the difference between the card deck and the ebook?
Same wisdom content, different formats. The card deck (63 cards) formats each module as a physical 2-page card with front/back design—perfect for shuffling, drawing randomly, writing notes on, and carrying specific cards with you. The ebook formats everything as a flowing book with cover, dedication, foreword, clickable table of contents, and bonus sections—perfect for reading on devices or printing as a bound book. Both are included with your purchase.
What are the "six wisdom traditions" included?
Each module draws quotes from: (1) Universal/Eclectic wisdom (philosophers, coaches, athletes across time), (2) Positive Psychology (contemporary research-backed insights), (3) Stoic philosophy (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus), (4) Christian scripture and teachings, (5) Buddhist/Mindfulness traditions, and (6) other global traditions (Eastern philosophy, Indigenous wisdom, etc.). This diversity ensures multiple perspectives on each mental skill.
Is this based on real research or just motivational quotes?
Both, intentionally. The structural framework comes from Cooper and Goodenough's interviews with elite South African athletes, identifying 13 specific mental skills that distinguish good performers from great ones. This is complemented by Csikszentmihalyi's academic flow research and sport psychology literature. The quotes themselves are authentic wisdom from diverse sources—selected specifically to illuminate each research-backed principle. See our
scientific foundation page for full details.
How long does it take to work through all 49 modules?
Entirely up to you. The 13-week cycle (one mental skill per week) gets you through the entire system in a quarter, with four complete cycles per year. Some users focus on 2-3 mental skills most relevant to their current challenges. Others use specific modules situationally—pulling resilience cards after a setback, or flow state cards before important performances. There's no required pace—the collection adapts to your rhythm.
Can I share my PDFs with others?
The PDFs are personalized to you and licensed for your personal use. You can print multiple copies for yourself and print cards for immediate family members living in your household. However, the files themselves should not be shared digitally, as each person's collection is personalized to them. If teammates, colleagues, or friends want their own personalized collections, they can purchase their own for R397.
Are there other products in the InspireWell4Life collection?
Yes! UBInTheZone2 is one of 36 products in our Aspirational Series—each focused on cultivating specific virtues, capabilities, and ways of being (You Be Gritty, You Be Resilient, You Be A Top Sport Achiever, You Be Mindful, etc.). We also have a Life Wisdom Series with 20 Navigate products for situational guidance. All use the same format: personalized cards + ebook, research-based frameworks, diverse wisdom traditions. The ebook includes a complete list in the "Explore Collections" section.
What's your refund policy?
Due to the personalized nature of the PDFs and instant digital delivery, all sales are final. However, if there are any issues with your files (technical problems, printing errors, etc.), contact us immediately and we'll resolve it. We want you to have a perfect experience with your collection.
