Fagan writes in an easy to read conversational style. It’s almost as if he were speaking right to the reader, providing sensical advice on how some may be able to “flip the switch” and change their lives.

-Jeff Morgan, University Professor

This book is a great, quick read! Author Ben Fagan does an excellent job at relating to the reader, explaining how to find true fulfillment from previously seen failures or setbacks. Flipping the Switch is an easy read but powerful book with answers to questions you did not know you had! The topics are applicable to life in general, not just in sports. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Ben Fagan has words of wisdom for those struggling to reframe their world. With a flair for storytelling...and a sly wink to the reader...he is able to convey important information that you would think is a bit beyond his given years. Although written in the context of college experiences and the demanding sport of baseball, Flipping the Switch offers valuable lessons and insights for ALL of us...no matter where we are in life. Kudos on a great debut and for offering all of us strategies for turning the lights on in our lives!

I found this book to be a light of inspiration for anyone who has struggles with confidence in achieving their personal goals. As the author takes us through his journey through success and failure, he encapsulates his revelations at each point with daily affirmations that can relate to any one of us , in any personal struggle. His prose of progress is easy to follow, and I especially found the worksheets at the conclusion of the book an easy guide that can apply apply to a parent trying to help a young student to an mid-lifer trying to find meaning and fulfillment in their life changes. Looking forward to reading Mr. Fagan's next work!

Having played with and continuing to work closely with author Ben Fagan, his genuine desire to share his story and perspective to help others shines through in his work. Redefining success is something that not only can be applied to large goals, life and whether or not we “made it”, but in every little moment in life so that we can maintain a quality perspective and continue to push forward in our best light.

This book showcased how powerful a positive mindset can be in collegiate sports and how it can be applied to life after athletics.

-Tara L., Former NCAA Swimmer/Graduate Student

Ben does a fantastic job describing what it’s like transitioning from identifying primarily as an athlete to converting back to a regular member of society. The advice he gives made me as a reader feel very connected because his words and phrases sounded so personal and vulnerable. Leaving the scene of being an athlete is not something that everyone can do easily and takes a lot of mental confidence and toughness. I would definitely recommend this book to all student athletes who are on the verge of graduating and accomplishing their eligibility.

-Angela, College Student-Athlete

This book is a simple and fantastic read, the thing that was most important to me was the way that Ben used his training and his experience as an athlete and transformed it into something that may not necessarily be tangible but will yield tangible results in life. As someone who was a former athlete both at the high school and collegiate level juggling athletic commitment is something I’m used to. However, I was never able to translate my success in athletics into my professional endeavors. This book is helping me to bridge that gap and transfer those skills by giving me a roadmap/blueprint. It is made even more impactful by the fact that I know this individual and they were in my shoes only a year ago. It just gives me A sense of ease to know that someone who I can relate so heavily with has “made it” to some degree. 12/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a fresh start or a way to improve themselves which everyone should be striving to do at all times.

-Howard S.

With how short the book is compared to others, Flipping The Switch delivers with great insightful and motivational content. Ben’s experiences in his life are very relatable, especially to athletes who compete at a high level such as college athletics. I would recommend this book to anybody who is struggling with self-doubt and those who feel they lack fulfillment. Overcoming adversity is not just something we go through with sports, it’s something we go through in life, and Ben highlights using what he learned from baseball and how to use it in life in general. As an athlete, Ben’s setbacks and obstacles hit close to home, and Ben’s lessons show how you must overcome those inner demons in order to find your own success.

-Manny M.

I am an athlete myself and have sometimes struggled with my positive mindset and overcoming obstacles on and off the field. After reading this book i have learned so much about trusting my process in the game and in life. I have learned how to celebrate little victories and forgive myself for mistakes. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little more motivation or wants to get on the path towards success. Definitely worth a read!!!
