Why do sports captivate people? They allow us to watch human beings
achieve peak performance, but, beyond physical strength and skill,
what's really impressive is an athlete's mental prowess,their will
to succeed, engagement with their environment, and
self-confidence.In Life as Sport , sport psychologist Dr. Jonathan
Fader shares the skills that he teaches professional athletes,to
enhance motivation, set productive goals, sharpen routines, manage
stress, and clarify thought processes,and applies them to
real-world situations. Dr. Fader's book is the product of thousands
of hours of conversations with athletes from various teams and
sports: power forwards, tennis phenoms, power-hitting outfielders,
and battle-scarred linebackers, as well as hedge-fund managers,
entrepreneurs, A-list actors, and dozens of other elite achievers
in sports, business, and performing arts. It offers a compendium of
stories, theories, and techniques that have been helpful to
players, coaches, and executives in professional sports. What
emerges is more than just a set of techniques, but a life
philosophy that anyone can live by: an internal code to help
translate our talent and drive toward the highest plateaus of
performance.Dr. Fader designs his strategies to be studied,
learned, practiced, and improved. He offers his readers the same
exercises that he uses in every session with a professional
athlete. These exercises help you to get truly engaged, whether you
are designing a new business plan, working to inspire a team or
individual, or even falling in love. This is what it means to truly
live life as sport,to approach it with the same immediacy, wonder,
and engagement that athletes feel at their peak during a game. Life
as Sport helps you to pursue your own goals with an enriched
intensity,not only because it creates new potential, but also
because it helps you unlock what was always there to begin with.
