"In my 30+ years in cycling I have had many opportunities to see extremely physically talented athletes fail to live up to their potential because they were never able to balance their physical talent with the mental side of sport. During that same time I have seen good athletes have championship winning performances due in part to their mental strength. Now more than ever, with so much information available to everyone instantaneously, many athletes tend to look everywhere except to themselves for improvement.

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.

If you are one of the individuals that is seeking health and wellness on not just the physical level but the mental as well, you need to read Mental Strength & Positive Attitude: 7 Core Lessons For Achieving Peak Performance In Life.

The Gutless Wonder is a true story of a young man faced with terrific pressures from secrets about his family. He kept this within himself and sought out the venue of playing high school football. His determination and will to never quit made it possible for him to achieve success under great physical and mental barriers that could not be understood by most everyone around him. His tragedies and accomplishments are detailed in the story and would give others a path to imitate if faced with similar situations.

Pacing in sport and exercise: a psychophysiological perspective is the first book which comprehensively examines the way humans pace exercise and sporting activities. This concept represents an exciting opportunity to combine the latest physiological and psychological theories with practical sport and exercise applications. The book will be an essential read for sport and exercise science academics, students, coaches, athletes and general exercise enthusiasts. Pacing is the strategy by which effort is managed across an exercise bout in relation to a specific goal and in the knowledge of the likely demands of the task. It is widely recognised that individuals distribute effort across a task and this is in evidence during all non-reflex exercise situations where individuals are able to receive and act upon neural feedback from peripheral physiologic systems. As such, pacing across a wide range of sport and exercise contexts is investigated and explained. Sporting activities as diverse as sprinting, soccer, triathlon, rowing and cycling are discussed. In addition, training methodologies to improve the ability to self-pace exercise are reviewed and a self-regulatory system to optimise training across all exercise types is proposed. Templates for consolidating training sessions, design and monitoring strategies are included. Pacing in relation to specific population groups such as children, overweight/obese individuals and those with chronic or acute illnesses is also discussed. Finally, it is hoped this new book will stimulate further research, growth and awareness of this important topic.

This book provides a sociological perspective on fitness culture as developed in commercial gyms, investigating the cultural relevance of gyms in terms of the history of the commercialization of body discipline, the negotiation of gender identities and distinction dynamics within contemporary cultures of consumption.

From sex and drugs to violence, gambling, and wholesale conspiracies, scandals are everywhere in sports. Each of these problems is its own issue, and every case is separate, but taken as a whole this criminal pathology is indicative of a widespread problem with athletes and responsibility. In this wide-ranging and deep-seeking investigation, psychologist Stanley H. Teitelbaum asks why elite athletes take enormous risks with their lives and careers. Teitelbaum analyzes and diagnoses this culturally resonant set of problems with an honest, critical eye, looking at everything from baseball's steroid abusers to gambling scandals in the NBA to the steady stream of athletes arrested for domestic violence to the murder trials of O.J. Simpson and wrestler Chris Benoit. A concluding chapter holds sports commissioners and others to task for hiding behind a facade of ignorance and duplicitous na vete in attempting to cover up or defuse brewing scandals.
