Conan Silveira Líder da American Top Team, lança seu primeiro livro.

"Mestre de você" é o título do primeiro livro escrito pelo ex-campeão mundial de MMA Conan Silveira, um dos mais destacados profissionais no universo das artes marciais mistas. Radicado nos Estados Unidos desde fins dos anos 1980, o hoje treinador, cofundador e sócio da American Top Team – mais respeitada academia de MMA do mundo – se vale das experiências que teve na vida pessoal e profissional para difundir conceitos que podem ser aplicados em qualquer área de atuação da vida. Além de comandar com os sócios a ATT, que tem sede em Coconut Creek (Flórida) e diversas unidades espalhadas pelos Estados Unidos e outros países, Conan passa boa parte do ano viajando para as competições em que seus atletas participam. Ele começou também a dar palestras sobre a metodologia que desenvolveu e é descrita em "Mestre de Você". A partir da experiência como lutador, campeão mundial na categoria Peso Pesado, o brasileiro se transformou em um dos mais disputados treinadores no cenário internacional – a revista UFC Magazine o considerou um dos 100 maiores coaches da história. Sobre o livro "Mestre de você" é uma espécie de guia de autoconhecimento, com indagações para a autorreflexão do leitor. Por meio de exercícios práticos, Conan propõe a serenidade do planejamento no lugar da impulsividade que pode levar à frustração, reconhecendo erros e tendo em si mesmo o maior incentivador de um caminho bem-sucedido. As vitórias acontecem, diz, com persistência, sem jamais deixar de lado a paixão por concretizar o sonho. Segundo Conan, o autoconhecimento evita a autossabotagem de tantos que não se consideram suficientemente talentosos para prosperar. Conhecer – e reconhecer – a própria fragilidade é um instrumento para fortalecer a determinação e atingir objetivos de sucesso. "O pré-requisito para seguir essa jornada é ter o entendimento de que sacrifícios e obstáculos são partes essenciais da normalidade do processo de vencer", garante o autor, na introdução de seu livro.
