4 out of 5 stars Well-written and entertaining   July 12, 2008
If you want to read an inspiring book on the power of the mind in sports, then this book is for you. It is not too packed with information, but it underlines many of the important points in mental coaching. Great stories and examples make it an uplifting read. The only thing missing was a step-by-step instruction guide to mind management - practice makes perfect.


3 out of 5 stars not what i expected   February 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

a solid read, but i was expecting a book that got more into the intricacies of sports psychology, but this book seems to focus more on your thinking off the court then on it.


5 out of 5 stars Best one for athletes!   October 5, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have read several books on the mental game in sports and this is by far the best. I work with collegiate and professional athletes and recommend this so often that Gary Mack should send me a commission!!!


4 out of 5 stars Great Book...not good service from Amazon   July 31, 2007
Mind Gym is a great book! I highly reccomend picking one up. HOWEVER, Amazon sent me 2 books with damaged covers and ripped pages. Get the book, just not from Amazon.
