Milledgeville, GA (WGXA) — Imagine waking up every Monday morning with a newfound motivation and zest for life. Baldwin County head basketball coach Ben Smith is making this vision a reality for many with his innovative book, Monday Morning Mindset. Known for his dynamic presence on the basketball court, Smith is extending his influence far beyond, inspiring readers to reshape their mindset and tackle each week with confidence.

Mondays — they’re tough for everyone,” Smith acknowledges, pointing out the universal dread associated with the start of the work week. Yet, he challenges this notion by emphasizing that attitude is the true game-changer. By drawing from his vast experience as a former collegiate and professional athlete, Smith expertly translates the lessons learned on the court into essential life skills.

A Fast-Tracked Writing Journey

Completing the book in a whirlwind era of just 34 days, Smith released it poignantly on his birthday, September 12. This rapid but intensive journey underscores not only his dedication but also his commitment to sharing insights on discipline, perseverance, and the power of positive thinking. As he aptly puts it, “Sometimes we need motivation, sometimes we need reassurance, and sometimes we need discipline.”

Resonating with Readers

Since its release, Monday Morning Mindset has found a place in over 200 homes, evidenced by a successful book signing event held in Dublin. Smith’s players, like Baldwin basketball star Quatah Gibson, resonate deeply with the book’s message of self-belief and motivation: “It doesn’t matter who’s around you. Just know what you can do and what you’re capable of — and keep looking up.”

Behind Every Great Coach…

Despite the acclaim, Smith humbly credits much of his success to his wife, highlighting her unwavering support and the familial balance she maintains. “She’s my number one supporter — in everything,” he shares, expressing admiration for her role in his life and the powerful teamwork they embody.

A Community Inspired

Smith’s mission extends beyond mere words in a book—it’s a movement to empower anyone feeling trapped by routine. As stated in WGXA, his philosophy lights the way for individuals eager to redefine their Mondays and embrace a lifestyle of resilience and positivity.

In the spirit of camaraderie and transformation, Coach Ben Smith’s Monday Morning Mindset is not just a book—it’s a call to action for those ready to seize control of their life narrative, one Monday at a time.
