The athlete's go-to guide for creating mental strength and achieving peak performance. Even among the most elite performers, certain athletes stand out as a cut above the rest, able to outperform in clutch, game-deciding moments. These athletes prove that raw athletic ability doesn't necessarily translate to a superior on-field experience, its the mental game that matters most. Sports participation is at an all-time high. While the calibre of their games may differ, athletes at every level have one thing in common: the desire to excel. In The Champion's Mind, sports psychologist Jim Afremow, PhD, offers the same advice he uses with Olympians, Heisman Trophy winners, and professional athletes, including: How to get in a "zone," thrive on a team, and stay humble; How to progress within a sport and sustain long-term excellence; Customizable pre-performance routines to hit full power when the gun goes off or the puck is dropped. Review: The Road to becoming a champion starts here - If you've ever wondered what makes a Champion in sport or in life, then this is the book that sets it out. This is not a theoretical pamphlet but an actionable guide which sets out each criteria you need to become the best you want to be - whatever that may be at. One of the positives of this book is you can dip into it again and again going over whether you have implemented the tried and tested techniques in the book. Another key part of the book is hands on commentary from top athletes who explain their mindset for winning and how it happened. Reading these books are useful if you are struggling to focus on achieving success in something. In my case, I want to be the best I can be at snooker, and this book has helped focus my mind on getting closer to that goal. With the help of this focus in this book, lots of practice, and coaching, I made my first break over 50! It helped me focus and give clarity, so give it a read, and see if it helps you. You can use this book whenever you are feeling negative about your confidence or need inspiration to keep motivated. Review: All-in-one for modern sports psychology - I loved this book, because it summarises most modern sports psychology theories and provides you with practical exercises to make use of them. It’s awesome if you want to work on your mindset, but can’t afford to work with a professional. It’s helped me a lot

a great read
This is definitely one of the best sports performance books I've read. I leant something from every page and unlike some similar books, it didn't fade away in the final few chapters, I would thoroughly recommended it to anyone looking to improve their sports performance through their mental game.

One of the best readings on the matter at all
I have indeed been into sports psychogy since 1983 and this chef-d'oeuvre is having it laid out very clearly in words and images. Mr.Jim Afremow does not beat around the bush. Work with his methods, and you will shine! One of the best readings on the matter at all! Yes aye indeed! Go look forward to getting into his way of practising the best sports psychology that you'd find.at all. Mr Afremow rules! Yours truly SEY

Powerful insights and great advice
The book's strength come from the holistic approach, deep research and wonderful variety of insights from Champion athletes and coaches across a number of different sports. Easy to read and well presented - it makes it easy from me to share relevant bits with my athletes.

Not great
Enjoyed maybe the first two thirds of the book then got bored. Just going over the same stuff over and over I felt. Skim read the second half of the book, and was glad to have finished it.

Extremely valuable for any athlete trying to make it
Being an athlete who is trying to make it the highest level in my discipline I am always looking at ways I can improve my performances. The mental aspect is without question the most important element to performing at the peak of your given abilities and this book helped me to tap into my mental game and improve it considerably. 5 stars.
