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.

Book excerpt: An in-depth mental motivational book for all athletes from Olympian Dr. Joanna Zeiger that offers game-changing strategies for programming your brain to achieve physical excellence. Champions, as the familiar adage preaches, are not born—they're made. Reaching the top of any sport, or any aspect of life, takes years upon years of dedication and proper preparation. But if there's a huge pool of individuals who have undertaken the same commitment and steps towards becoming the best, what truly separates the winners from everyone else? Joanna Zeiger believes proper mental preparation is the answer. The Champion Mindset is a much-needed and long overdue look into how to program a competitor's mind to achieve optimal success. Changing behaviors and ways of thinking are never easy, but the chapters in this book aim to simplify this process to make it manageable and achievable. This book is for every athlete—from the weekend warrior, who wants to complete in his or her first 5k running race, to those who have aspirations of one day becoming Olympians and world champions. The Champion Mindset is a compendium of Zeiger's own personal journey from struggling novice swimmer to Olympian and World Champion. Through steps including: Proper Goal Setting, Keeping it Fun, Building Your Team, Intention in Training, Improving Motivation, Promoting Self-Confidence, and Mind/Body Cohesion, among others, Zeiger uses her decades of personal experience, doctoral-level research, and professional success, to prepare readers to go all-in with their mental game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to gather firsthand accounts of successful practices, and thinking habits, of sports legends and super-athletes—from across sports including football, baseball, basketball, boxing, golf, car-racing, and swimming—this work holds lessons that can power not only athletic success, but winning in any daily challenges of life or work. The result of years of research, Psychology of Champions offers the very personal words of star athletes who explain how they overcame such obstacles as fear, discouragement, and anxiety, and were able to move on to success. Each story—including from those of baseball great Ted Williams, basketball star Michael Jordan, football's famed Deion Sanders, and dozens more from across sports —is unique. Yet, the authors determine that, when all is said and done, the overriding variables accounting for the greatest success fall into three categories: motivation, confidence, and concentration. Barrell and Ryback spell out the rules for such success after each section in this absorbing book. The result is a book that not only entertains and educates us with firsthand accounts of ever-popular sports heroes, but also instructs athletes, amateur or professional, and arguably anyone with a goal to achieve in work or life. In-the-moment accounts reveal just what to do in various critical periods of sports competition—from being at bat in baseball, to making an instantaneous decision as a quarterback, firing the winning basket in the dying moments of a game, or launching the winning move in boxing or judo. Barrell and Ryback draw the lessons together in what they term The Focus Edge mindset. That mindset—and this book— says one former Olympian, take greatness and make it accessible to you and me.

Book excerpt: In A Champion’s Mind, the tennis great who so often exhibited visible discomfort with letting people “inside his head” finally opens up. An athletic prodigy, Pete resolved from his earliest playing days never to let anything get in the way of his love for the game. But while this determination led to tennis domination, success didn’t come without a price. Here for the first time Pete speaks freely about the personal trials he faced—including the death of a longtime coach and confidant—and the struggles he gutted his way through while being seemingly on top of the world. Among the book’s most riveting scenes are the devastating early loss that led Pete to make a monastic commitment to the game; fierce on-court battles with Andre Agassi; and the triumphant last match of Pete’s career at the finals of the 2002 U.S. Open. "A thoroughly compelling read that really probes the hard drive of a champion...All the emotion and insight that Sampras seemes reluctant to express during his playing days come spilling forth." —Jon Wertheim, senior writer, Sports Illustrated

Making a comeback isn’t just about raw talent or athletic ability—it’s the mental game that counts most. In the new paperback edition of The Champion’s Comeback, he offers winning strategies for athletes of any age or skill level to get mentally psyched for competition, quickly rebound after a loss, and overcome injuries (and the fear of re-injury). Afremow explores the psychology of commitment and shows you how to develop the core confidence of repeat champions.

The emphasis on self-awareness, tactical positioning, and strategic advantage means that practitioners win through inner growth and self-improvement-giving them a universal competitive edge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winning mindset = winning outcomes An Olympic hopeful faces the end of his worst season yet. For a year he's been in a slump, not hitting his numbers. His trainer suggests a meeting with Loren Fogelman. After a single session with Loren, he ends the season on a positive note, winning the event and setting a new season best record. A golfer complains of erratic, inconsistent play. New equipment doesn't solve the problem the way he thinks it should. Following Loren's advice, he transforms nearly every aspect of his mental game-he slows down, focuses his mind and concentrates on one shot at a time. Distractions disappear. Dedicated focus lowers his handicap. He's voted the most improved player in his club. A dressage equestrian takes a bad fall during competition. The injury shuts her down for a long time. When she finally does compete again, she holds back-self-blame and the fear of being hurt again claw at her confidence. Her horse senses her apprehension. But when Loren inspires her to create a powerful vision that aligns with her goals, she becomes a top performer in her category. What these athletes have in common: They know their negativity is diverting their energy and hindering their performance. They succeed with Loren's insights and create the specific mindsets and visions necessary to attain their goals. Focusing on what's do-able helps you win big In The Winning Point, Loren Fogelman asserts that anyone can be a champion-high performance isn't the trademark of gifted athletes alone. Today is the day to claim what's rightfully yours. You have a choice. Stop settling for less than what you want to offer the world. Focus on your vision. Boldly go Your mindset colors everything you do, on and off the field. Mastering your thoughts and harnessing your energy for high performance is critical to success in every area of your life. Strategically tap into your highest potential and soar to the top. Loren throws a spotlight on what most mental game strategies miss. Her strategy ensures high performance. Learn powerful-but-simple actions you can take to boost confidence, improve focus, and remain present at all times. Loren pulls back the curtain on a little known practice that is quickly gaining momentum and transforming lives: Emotional Freedom Techniques. Learn why some exceptional athletes struggle, despite their best efforts, and how to escape the same trap. Discover how athletes, at all levels of play, quickly achieve significant performance gains. In The Winning Point, you'll learn how to keep distractions from burning up the energy you need to perform at your best. Fierce focus is frequently the factor that separates winning from losing. At its core, The Winning Point helps you transform breakdowns into breakthroughs so the path to success is straightforward and uncomplicated. Loren says, "Don't play to avoid losing. Stop struggling-enjoy your adventure again. Don't let your recurrent fears steal away your remarkable future. I can show you how to reach your highest potential by sharing the strategies champion athletes use. Focus on what's possible to reach the destiny you want." Now is the time for the champion inside you to focus fully on mastering your mindset and achieving your breakthrough. Loren Fogelman is the founder of Expert Sports Performance where she inspires athletes to step up and play a bigger game. Her trainings and videos show athletes how to master winning mindsets.
