Description
I can. It is the mantra of many successful athletes. The successful athletes we all enjoy watching and aspire to join don't just work physically hard - they learn how to use their brain really well too. In their time in sport they have learnt tonnes of mental skills and have honed a performance focused mindset to give themselves the best chance of achieving their sporting dreams. This book is designed to help you become one of these athletes. Someone whose body can already show off brilliant sporting skills but who now wants to learn to master the mental skills too. The book covers what it takes to be successful, how to handle competition nerves, ways to push harder and get braver, techniques to build your confidence, ways to improve your emotional control, activities to increase your concentration and focus, tactics for dealing with setbacks and injury, advice on how to feel comfortable in the sporting world and finally tips on how to look after your wellbeing as an athlete. In each chapter there are questions to think about and answer, activities to complete and elite insights and interviews from some of the best athletes in the world. The skills we cover will not only help you in sport, but also in school, music, and any other hobbies. So, if you want to be able to say 'I can' with confidence and know that you can handle whatever your sport throws at you, then open up this book and get started on developing your mindset for sporting success.
