Book excerpt: 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—from the recreational to the collegiate Division I level—is at an all-time high. While the caliber 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 With hundreds of useful tips, breakthrough science, and cutting-edge workouts from the world's top trainers, The Champion's Mind will help you shape your body to ensure a longer, healthier, happier lifetime.

Download or read book Train Your Mind for Athletic Success written by Jim Taylor, PhD and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much too often, the mental aspect of sport performance is overlooked. While all top athletes are in outstanding physical condition and technically exceptional, mental preparation is often what separates the best from the rest. This is just as true for young athletes as it is for pros and Olympians. And even though relatively few athletes will ever reach the top of their sport, the attitudes and life lessons learned from mental training—such as motivation, confidence, focus, perseverance, and resilience—will serve them well in all aspects of their lives. In Train Your Mind for Athletic Success: Mental Preparation to Achieve Your Sports Goals, Dr. Jim Taylor uses his own elite athletic experience and decades of working with some of the world’s best athletes to provide competitors of every ability with insights, practical exercises, and tools they can use to be mentally prepared when it really counts. His Prime Sport System explores the attitudes that lay the foundation for athletic success, the mental obstacles that can hold athletes back, the preparations they must take, the mental muscles they should strengthen, and the mental tools they need to fine tune their competitive performances. Most importantly, Dr. Taylor shows athletes practical strategies they can use to become mentally strong so they can perform their best when it matters most. Train Your Mind for Athletic Success goes well beyond the typical mental skills that are discussed in other mental training books. Readers will not only learn why mental preparation is so important to athletic success, but also where they personally are in each area thanks to brief mental assessments in each section of the book. In addition, each chapter includes exercises to show athletes how to incorporate mental training directly into their overall sport training regimen. The most comprehensive and in-depth book on mental preparation for athletes available, Train Your Mind for Athletic Success is an essential read for athletes, coaches, and parents.

This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes work hard in practice, putting in the time and the grind, but when it comes to game time, sometimes they miss the mark. They know they're capable of more-and their coaches and trainers know it, too-but when the lights are on them, and the pressure rises, they often underperform. The truth is, physical training is only one part of any athlete's game. The mental game is just as important, yet in young athletes, mindset is almost never a focus in development and practice-and it's costing them results.In Playing in the Box, renowned sports psychologist Dr. Pete Temple describes how young athletes can use simple mental exercises to relax, improve, and achieve their goals on and off the field or court. If you've ever struggled in competition, Dr. Temple's practical approach will help you develop confidence, drive, and resilience, so you can bounce back from setbacks, relax when the game gets tense, and reach your full potential.

Book excerpt: It was my ambition to bring out a book on planning different structural units of training and the structure of long term plans. Many coaches find it difficult to make proper logical structural units of training because there is a paucity of literature pertaining to this area. I hope this book will be highly useful to the coaches and trainers for doing the complicated job of planning their training programmes more easily. This book presents the latest scientific information and theoretical framework of planning different training units as well as other aspects of training. Chapter 1 deals with the basic principles of planning, factors involved in planning training programmes and the Training Principles. Chapter 2 is about the planning of competitions, types of competitions, peaking for competition, tapering, Aim of taper, Physiological effects of tapering, biochemical changes, immune responses effects, strength and Power, Psychological effects, performance changes, types of taper, designing taper programme, reduction of training volume, reduction of training intensity, reduction of training frequencies, taper duration, and other important considerations during the taper such as tapering and travel, enhancing recovery during taper and nutrition hydration during taper. Chapter 3 describes planning of training loads, load components, classification of loads, functions of training load and judgement of training load. Chapter 4 is about Fatigue and Fatigue Management in Training, central mechanism of fatigue, peripheral fatigue model, central governor model of fatigue, monitoring of training fatigue, performance test, measures of neuromuscular function, biochemical markers, Questionnaires, profile of mood states, recovery-Stress Questionnaire for athletes, daily analysis of life demand and bio markers of muscle fatigue. Chapter 5 presents an in-depth idea of Adaptation process in sports training, phases of adaptation, hypothetical-theoretical, mechanism of adaptation, general Adaptation Syndrome theory, Super compensation theory, fitness –fatigue theory, types of adaptation, and biochemical aspects of adaptations, and the mechanism and limitations to adaptation. Chapter 6 deals with planning of recovery, types of recovery, factors affecting recovery, recovery pattern, post workout recovery strategies, types of fatigue, planning the recovery programme, nutrition and hydration strategies, means of recovery, pedagogical means, physiotherapeutic means, pharmacological means, psychological recovery techniques, monitoring training, educating the athlete, selecting appropriate recovery techniques, different approaches to the use of recovery and planning of recovery means. Chapter 7 deals with overtraining, overtraining and overreaching, reasons for overtraining, symptoms, types of overtraining, manifestation of overtraining, diagnosis of overtraining and preventing overtraining syndrome. Chapter 8 addresses planning of training session, classification and organization of training sessions. Chapter 9 addresses planning of micro cycles, classification of micro cycles, organization of training sessions in micro cycles and structure of micro cycles with different magnitude and direction loads. Chapter 10 describes planning of one day training programme. Chapter 11 describes meso cycles, types of meso cycles and combination of micro cycles within meso cycle. Chapter 12 is about planning of macro cycles, periodization of training with macro cycles, physiological basis of periodization, types of periodization, training periods, technology of planning. and periodization models. Chapter 13 gives the basic understanding of the structure of long term plans and different stages of long term plans. Chapter 14 depicts the structure of long term athlete development model, the stages of development and the criticisms of long term athlete development. Chapter 15 explains the Youth physical development model and the motor qualities development.
