| Abstract

:
|
"Athletes and coaches have long sought a sport psych training manual they can really use. The Mental Athlete is exactly that - a conditionality manual for the mind to assess inner strengths and weaknesses, gain confidence and reduce fear of failure, improve sport-related thought processes, initiate positive changes on the court and field, and respond more effectively to challenges in the competitive arena."--Jacket
