Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays and baseball fans love the behind-the-scenes stories from Halladay’s Hall of Fame career.

Many of the current and former Major League and Minor League players, coaches, scouts and executives said they related to Halladay’s struggles early in his career. Players said the lesson learned from Doc can help them improve their mental approach, which is critical to the success of professional athletes. That was a big reason why I wrote Doc in the first place. I was always fascinated that Halladay wanted to spend his post-playing career working as a mental skills coach, sharing his knowledge and wisdom with others.

Halladay’s thoughts and philosophies on the mental side of baseball fill the pages of this book.

Something I did not expect: I heard from people struggling with mental health and addiction issues. They said Halladay’s story inspired them to keep fighting. I also heard from parents who realized they were pushing their children too hard in youth sports. They said they plan to make sports fun again.

Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay has connected with many different people for many different reasons. I hope you connect with Halladay’s amazing story and life, too.
