The first book to gather first-hand accounts of successful
practices, and thinking habits, of sports legends and
super-athletes - from across sports including football, baseball,
and basketball to boxing, golf, car-racing, and swimming - this
work holds lessons that can power not only athletic success, but
winning in any daily challenges of life or work. The result of
years of research, Psychology of Champions offers the very personal
words of stellar athletes who explain how they overcame such
obstacles as fear, discouragement, and anxiety, and were able to
move on to success. Each story - from those of baseball great Ted
Williams, basketball star Michael Jordon, football's famed Deion
Sanders, NASCAR's, and dozens more from across sports - is unique,
but the authors determine when all is said and done the overriding
variables accounting for the greatest success fall into three
categories - motivation, confidence, and concentration. Barrell and
Ryback spell out the rules for such success after each section in
this absorbing book. The result is a book that not only entertains
and educates us with first-hand accounts of ever-popular sports
heroes, but also instructs atheletes, amateur or professional, and
arguably anyone with a goal to achieve in work or life.
In-the-moment accounts reveal just what to do in various critical
periods of sports competition - from being at bat in baseball, to
making an instantaneous decision as a quarterback, firing the
winning basket in the dying moments of a game, or launching the
winning move in boxing or judo. Barrell and Ryback draw the lessons
together in what they term The Focus Edge mindset. It is a mindset,
and this is a book, that takesgreatness and makes it accessible to
you and me, declared one former Olympian.
