Customer Reviews
Mental Training; not just for Sports but LIFE in general too. - Rated This book has many useful tools not just for athletes but also for individuals seeking something better for their everyday lives. The best section I thought was on setting goals, the wheel of excellence, maintaining positive perspectives and outlook, and how to deal with distraction control, quest for consistency, etc etc. These are all very important concepts not just for the athlete in training but also for everyday people seeking a goal or purpose in life, maintaining that path to success, and knowing how to deal with every day bumps and grinds and highs and lows. Book talks about: - Setting a goal, Make commitment to that goal, & Initiate Action to accomplish your goals. Don't let distractions, criticism, or other people distract you from your path. Sounds simple? But for most of us we really have to work on it! Takes lots' work and discipline to know what you want, work to towards getting it, and not stray from distractions or criticism. I can't add more than that or I'd be repeating material from the two glowing & highly acknowledged testaments below. If you feel the need to follow on & be inspired by more GREAT works like this to motivate you further, you really must read "GOALS!" by Brian Tracy. It'll get you pumped!! One of the better sports psychology works - Rated One of the better sports psychology works which I have come across. Unlike most of the literature this goes into some fair detail concerning the 'how' rather than just the 'what', that is to say, practical steps for the reader to take for improved mental approach and consequent performance. Well written, too. Practical-user-friendly psychology of performance manual. - Rated Terry Orlick manages to weave anecdotal examples of how the mind can be the difference between performance and "peak performance". This book is packed with practical exercises, check lists and "how-to's" to learn and apply the mechanics/techniques of sports psychology. Nifty quotes at the beginning of each chapter. WARNING: It won't turn miracles. It will not give you talent you never had or replace hard work. If you've ever found yourself belaboring a performance error, regularly using negative self-talk or "choking" in those key situations... then this book is for you. It does require a belief... the belief that mental training will work. "Belief is the mother of reality."
