Description
"While for the most part we are able to quantify the physical aspects of an elite athlete's performance, such as great strength, flexibility, or stamina, frequently we are unable to do the same for the elite athlete's psychological attributes. We instinctively know that the psychology of an athlete is important for achieving success at the highest levels, yet all too often we don't know why, or indeed how, this is so. Is it a matter of superior concentration and focus, a magic 'eye' for the ball or opponent, or simply a higher threshold to hardships that allows some to break through the proverbial pain barrier? In this fascinating new book Gary Lewis examines what makes a champion mind."--BOOK JACKET.
