Summary: The New Toughness Training For Sports
Comment: Very interesting points made in this book. It's a quick read and very well-written.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant and Simple>>>>
Comment: This book is a very useful tool for any aspiring athlete. Some of it is obvious and some it is quarky but altogether it is very useful. And I'm certain that if one applies these techniques you will see big gains. This book helped me understand my emotions as they relate to my sport. And it gave me ways to be a tough thinker and a actor. Everyone knows its important to try and be tough but not everyone knows how. This book has just about everything you need to know to take you game to the next level.
If your short on time skip through and just read chapters 1,7,9,11, 14 and 15. Theres 18 chapters total.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great read for any sportswoman/sportsman
Comment: This book provides some great "food for thought" for practitioners of any sport, be it a team or an individual sport. You do not have to believe every word or make all the written exercises the author proposes; just read and think. At least, you will approach the "mental game" in a new way.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A training and coaching gem!
Comment: Extremely helpful "how to" book for becoming mentally tough. Unlike other sports pysche books, this one tells you very specific things to do to improve concentration, focus and most important, resiliency. Think of this as a cookbook of recipes for creating the appropriate mental response at the right time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, easy read.
Comment: This is a pretty good, easy read. It doesn't hit you with a lot of scientific mumbo-jumbo that you'll never understand. Instead, it gives you a basic, common-sense approach to improving the mental aspect of your game. The author shows how the physical world and the emotional world are related, and how being stronger mentally can help you perform better in your sport.
It is not geared towards any one sport, but rather it is geared to athletes in general.
