Mental Training for Sports and LIFE November 11, 2005
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book has many useful tools not just for athletes but also for individuals seeking something for their everyday lives.
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
And Initiate Action to accomplish your goals
and 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 lotsa work and discipline to know what you want, work to towards getting it, and not stray from distractions or criticism.

A must read for those who wish to push their performance in anything to the next level. He allowed me to squat weights I wouldn't have been able to life before!

Practical-user-friendly psychology of performance manual. January 11, 1999
65 out of 72 found this review helpful
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."
