Freedom Flight Book and Audio CD are on SALE!

The book is $15 - regular price is $21.95 - Click HERE to ORDER.

The CD is $20 - regular price is $30 - Click HERE to ORDER.


What is it? Freedom Flight - The Origins of Mental Power was written as an introduction to our system. Originally this message was shared by Lanny Bassham as a keynote talk explaining the power of controlling your mind no matter the environment through a story about Jack Sands who mentors to Lanny before Mental Management is created. The knowledge and insight Lanny gained from meeting Jack forever changed his life. When Lanny would share this message as a keynote people would always want a book or audio version of this particular story. This is the printed version of this amazing story. We believe Freedom Flight is the best product to purchase FIRST no matter your sport or performance area. This is a 2 Audio CD Set with a powerful story and principles applicable to anyone.

What is it about? Two people have a conversation on a long plane trip from New York to Cairo Egypt. One is an Olympic Silver Medalist; the other is someone that will offer a truly unforgettable story that will take you, along with the medalist, to a new understanding of the origins of mental power. Lanny's new book, inspired by true events and real people, is an unforgettable story of survival and attainment, of becoming and accomplishment, as one man's experiences empower another man's future.

Why do you need it? This book contains 14 success principles and the information in this product is not duplicated in our other materials. This is a great introduction to Mental Management and is applicable to absolutely anyone. This book will take away your WHINE. The emotional reaction to the characters and circumstances in this book are life altering. The experiences Jack explains to Lanny and the mentorship that Lanny encounters have been a turning point for many individuals. Our hope is that you will not only read this book for yourself but will take the time to share it with others. Freedom Flight is quickly becoming our most popular book, audio CD and keynote talk.

Who can benefit from it?

* Athletes
* Business Professionals
* Stage Performers/Pageant Contestants
* Parents
* Anyone who needs motivation & inspiration
* Everyone

There is no way to truly explain why this book is such a great addition to your library. It is just a “Gotta Have It” type of tool. The response that we have received from this book is truly amazing. This has become our most popular gift item and our best selling tool next to the book “With Winning in Mind”. This book is applicable to any performer, competitor or business professional. Young, old, rich or poor this story is meant for you. We are honored to have helped to motivate and inspire thousands with this wonderful story. Most people rarely keep their copy for long as it is probably the most “loaned out” product we carry so maybe you need to go ahead and order two copies. What a blessing to have this message spread to so many people.


Here are a couple of comments from those who have read the book, listened to the Audio CD or heard Lanny tell the story live.

"Freedom Flight inspired me to make changes in my life that I had been postponing because they were outside of my comfort zone. This outstanding story made me realize that I do have the power to make important changes in my life and gave me the courage to take charge once again. I recommend this powerful product to anyone looking for some encouragement, whether it be to improve your professional or personal life." Stashia Rivera, Director of Media Relations, Denver, CO

"Freedom Flight is incredible! I heard it for the first time from Lanny in his own words. This story will grab you within the first few minutes. Freedom Flight and its' lessons of mental power can't help but impact everyone who listens. Enjoy this incredible story and learn that the mind can overcome things you cannot even imagine until you read Freedom Flight." Fred Funk, PGA Tour Player

"Freedom Flight inspired me mentally and spiritually to go to the next level in my competition. It also moved me to be a better person. Life is not just about winning and losing, it's about learning and growing and Lanny showed me that God has a plan for me." Shilah Phillips, Miss Texas 2006, 1st Runner Up to Miss America

"Lanny Bassham has been an inspiration to me during my competitive years of golf. His book continues to inspire me in business as well. Freedom Flight has changed my perspective in business helping me to keep my focus on the important and letting the unimportant things go." Jun Lee, Entrepreneur - Owner and Founder of Styles by Jun

"Freedom Flight is one of those stories that touches your heart and soul. It touches you so significantly that you are moved, moved to action. Freedom Flight reminds us that heroes still exist and that potential hides within each of us . . . if we just give it a chance." Craig Braun, DMD

"Lanny Bassham's Freedom Flight is incredibly inspiring! In one's life there are pivotal moments that you can always look back to and reflect on a book you read, or something that someone said, that made a real impact on you and even affected your outlook on life. This is one of those things. This particular story and the Mental Management system as a whole has benefited our organization in a huge way. I recommend it to everyone I meet." Jan Mitchell, Executive Director, Miss Plano Frisco Organization

I recently became aware of and have purchased "Freedom Flight" I have owned "With Winning in Mind" for many years. The origin of these lessons is amazing! Although my challenge was different it still involved life and death. The lessons in both books played a significant role in my victory. Thank you for being able to share these. God Bless. With Deepest Gratitude, Chuck Morningstar

This is Glenn Walker from Australia. I wanted to contact you and express my feelings when I listened to Freedom Flight on CD. This is one of the most amazing and touching stories I have ever heard. It doesn't matter what sort of person you are, If you are not emotionally touched and welled in the eyes after hearing that story, your not human. I have heard nearly all of your material and it is all great, however this material alone has made me see and given me the inspiration to take my family life, business and sport of skeet shooting to an entirely new level. Congratulations on such a great production and above all thank you for giving me the opportunity to hear both yours and Jacks story, its truly amazing. Feel free to use these comments in any of your printed material, as I believe the more people that hear and absorb this material, the world can only be better for it. Thanks again. Glenn Walker

Are You Environmentally Driven?

(This is an article from a past MENTALCOACH email newsletter written by Heather Sumlin)

"No matter how bad your environment is others have endured more and complained less"

For me (Lanny's daughter, Heather) this principle hit me the hardest. In today's negatively charged society it is easy and acceptable to complain. We complain about work, our spouses, friends, our commute, in-laws, kids, finances and almost everything else. It is easy to be unhappy with our surroundings and to tell everyone else all about it.

No matter how bad your situation is, there is someone out there who has it much worse off than you do. Someone out there is fighting to stay alive and has no reason to believe they will live. Someone else is living with no home and no hope of finding shelter or food for her child tonight. Still another has lost their wife and kids and is very much alone. Imagine for a moment that these people are not angry or bitter or negative even though they have every right to be. Imagine that they are thankful to live another day and have a positive outlook on life despite their misfortune.

I don't think life is easy for anyone. We all have our unique challenges and complicated realities. However, we must take the time to treasure what we do have and cancel the negative self-talk no matter our situation.

In competition, one of our biggest challenges is to control what we say to ourselves and to others. Most of the negative self-talk is driven by our environment. You get lost heading to your match, trial or tournament. Your spouse or significant other picks 15 minutes before your event begins to remind you of all the ways you have failed in your relationship or marriage. You know you have a difficult time competing when the weather is bad and today it is pouring out but your event is not canceled. You start the competition and you are not performing at your potential. Your mind is racing and it is because of your environment. You have to be able to turn off the voices in your head that are yelling back at your spouse, still angered by getting lost, thinking you can't possibly win and mad at God for making it rain.
If we complain less (internally or verbally) we will be a much more pleasant person to have around and succeed more often. Stop thinking so much about what is going on around you and have a good time for that one moment. Have fun anyway - despite your surroundings. It's raining? So what - think to yourself "I'm even better at my sport in the rain". Your spouse is upset at you and/or making you feel guilty? Do your best to put it out of your mind at least until the competition is over - think of the things you love about what is going on around you. Get away from the situation and play the best game of your life anyway. Never let your environment dictate what your mood is for the day - or your level of play for that matter. Who is in control of you? YOU ARE!

In Freedom Flight, you learn how the character Jack Sands is able to take a situation that seems hopeless and endures it, learns from it and becomes a better person for it. We all can learn a little something from a man like this one.
