Much too often, the mental aspect of sport performance is overlooked.
While all top athletes are in outstanding physical condition and
technically exceptional, mental preparation is often what separates
the best from the rest. This is just as true for young athletes as it
is for pros and Olympians. And even though relatively few athletes
will ever reach the top of their sport, the attitudes and life lessons
learned from mental training—such as motivation, confidence, focus,
perseverance, and resilience—will serve them well in all aspects of
their lives. In Train Your Mind for Athletic Success: Mental
Preparation to Achieve Your Sports Goals, Dr. Jim Taylor uses his own
elite athletic experience and decades of working with some of the
world’s best athletes to provide competitors of every ability with
insights, practical exercises, and tools they can use to be mentally
prepared when it really counts. His Prime Sport System explores the
attitudes that lay the foundation for athletic success, the mental
obstacles that can hold athletes back, the preparations they must
take, the mental muscles they should strengthen, and the mental tools
they need to fine tune their competitive performances. Most
importantly, Dr. Taylor shows athletes practical strategies they can
use to become mentally strong so they can perform their best when it
matters most. Train Your Mind for Athletic Success goes well beyond
the typical mental skills that are discussed in other mental training
books. Readers will not only learn why mental preparation is so
important to athletic success, but also where they personally are in
each area thanks to brief mental assessments in each section of the
book. In addition, each chapter includes exercises to show athletes
how to incorporate mental training directly into their overall sport
training regimen. The most comprehensive and in-depth book on mental
preparation for athletes available, Train Your Mind for Athletic
Success is an essential read for athletes, coaches, and parents.
