Product description

"Think Like an Athlete, Don't Act Like One" reveals the mental secrets of the world's top athletes. It offers 75 lessons from elite sports, for both young and old: to help you prepare optimally, perform when it matters and recover when you've earned it. Learn from Michael Jordan’s shoe, Boris Becker’s tongue, and Michael Phelps’ goggles. Draw inspiration from a smiling Roger Federer, and discover what countless sports psychologists and scientists have learned about elite sports. Sometimes, pouring yogurt over your head is what you need to succeed, and a winning ship doesn’t need just one, but four captains. This book is handy for your first job, a tough exam, when you need to lead but don’t know how, or just want to benefit from lessons from elite sports. Each lesson has been multi-tested by the author in practice and can be applied both inside and outside the sports arena.
