What makes a winner - in business or in sport? Why do some people
consistently break sales targets, cross the line first or hammer
the ball in the net with pinpoint accuracy? Natural talent and
disciplined training are vital. But with two equally matched
professionals, something else makes the difference that provides
that extra, champion factor: the mind.
Mind Games looks into the mental processes of sporting stars,
identifying the attitudes and approaches that enable them to
achieve peak performance, every time, and applies them specifically
to the world of business. What are the key mental characteristics
that make some people come out on top? How do winners channel
adrenalin into controlled power while losers choke? What do
sportsmen and women mean when they talk about 'the inner game',
being 'in the zone' or being 'in the now'? What is it that coaches
do to realise the potential they see? What are the lessons that
business winners need to learn from sport's superstars?
Mind Games has the full involvement of over 30 sporting household
names, including Sven-Goran Eriksson, Matthew Pinsent, Clive
Woodward, Nick Faldo, Jonny Wilkinson. The authors draw on
extensive first-hand experiences of acknowledged sporting champions
across a range of sports, identifying personal techniques proven to
have worked under the pressure of top-level competition. They also
draw on the expertise of professional coaches and psychologists who
have worked with sportsmen and women.
