I can. It is the mantra of many successful athletes. The successful
athletes we all enjoy watching and aspire to join don't just work
physically hard - they learn how to use their brain really well
too. In their time in sport they have learnt tonnes of mental
skills and have honed a performance focused mindset to give
themselves the best chance of achieving their sporting dreams. This
book is designed to help you become one of these athletes. Someone
whose body can already show off brilliant sporting skills but who
now wants to learn to master the mental skills too. The book covers
what it takes to be successful, how to handle competition nerves,
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
developing your mindset for sporting success.
