Own Who You Are is Specifically Focused on Athletes


New York Soccer News: Amanda puts what she learned on soccer fields into her first book

Amanda Ferranti, an Olympic Development Program (ODP) coach in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA), has co-authored a new workbook with Sean McMannis titled Own Who You Are. It is the first book for both budding authors.


Published by Complete Well Media, Own Who You Are is specifically focused on helping an athlete develop fundamental routines to build and maintain confidence, joy, and pride in their performance.

Designed for athletes ages 12 and above, Own Who You Are is 124 pages long and the five chapters are named My Well, My Breathing, My Core Values, My Character, and My Gratitude.

Ferranti has a MA in Sport and Exercise Psychology, a BA in Psychology from Princeton University and is a CMPC (Certified Mental Performance Consultant) for youth players, teams, and coaches.

An advocate of mental skills training from personal experiences, she understands the importance of emotional management and uses her innovation and unique knowledge specifically for youth sports.
