Sports are full of ups and downs. But the best athletes and teams are mentally tough and bounce back quickly after an off day. That's exactly what this book will help you do so you can maintain positive concentration and perform to your true potential with consistency.
This book is specifically written for athletes, coaches, or parents of athletes who are interested in developing greater mental toughness and peak performance strategies in sports, from teens up to adults.
You'll gain a positive, more confident mindset for boosting the performance of slumping athletes, getting them (or yourself) out of their ruts, and staying clear of slumps of blocks in the future through a better outlook on failure, motivation, winning, handling the pressure of sports competition, interacting with others, and other challenges both on and off the field.
This information is presented in a very straight-forward way, providing guidance and clear prescriptions for application in any sport. You'll learn what happens internally when an athlete is suddenly unable to perform, and most importantly how to overcome these situations.
Pressure, staleness, mental blocks, lack of confidence, nervousness, miscommunication, tension, inability to concentrate on the right things, inconsistency in performances. These are all things you'll be able to see more clearly and address with a deeper understanding after reading this book. You'll learn practical and highly effective techniques - such as tracking arousal, visualization, balanced goal setting, effective concentration, and more - in order to move past whatever may be holding you back from truly rising to any occasion in your sports.
It will also be a great help to coaches and parents in supporting athletes and helping them to overcome sports challenges so they can thrive in their sport while having fun and performing at their best.
Whether you are a young athlete just getting started or an experienced coach looking to expand your understanding or approach, you will gain some great value here, this is a must-have!
