ways to push harder and get braver, techniques to build your
confidence, ways to improve your emotional control, activities to
increase your concentration and focus, tactics for dealing with
setbacks and injury, advice on how to feel comfortable in the
sporting world and finally tips on how to look after your wellbeing
as an athlete. In each chapter there are questions to think about
and answer, activities to complete and elite insights and
interviews from some of the best athletes in the world. The skills
we cover will not only help you in sport, but also in school,
music, and any other hobbies. So, if you want to be able to say 'I
can' with confidence and know that you can handle whatever your
sport throws at you, then open up this book and get started on
