Description
Mental training is just as important as physical training on the subject of success in sport. And like physical fitness, mental toughness is something that may be taught and learned. Yet many young athletes have not learned the psychological skills needed to develop their best game. This book used to be written specifically for young athletes interested in improving their performance and reaching their potential in sport.
Bring Your “A” Game introduces key strategies for mental training, such as goal setting, pre-performance routines, confidence building, and imagery. Each of the seventeen chapters specializes in a single mental skill and offers key points and exercises designed to toughen the concepts. The book encourages athletes to incorporate these mental skills into their daily lives and practice sessions so that they turn out to be second nature throughout competition.
Whether used at home by student athletes or assigned by coaches as a part of team development, Bring Your “A” Game will help young performers develop a plan for success and learn how to maintain the challenges of pursuing excellence in sport.
