Many parts of the athlete's body are important for performance,
such as strong muscles and bones; healthy lungs and heart; and
several sensory systems, including the vision, touch, and joint
position senses, and the vestibular system for balance. However,
the critical element for athletic performance is, "not what you
have but how you use it." The organ that decides "how you use it"
is the brain. This book explains how the brain allows the athlete
to perform. The book starts with an outline of brain anatomy, which
is necessary to understand how the brain functions. The book then
outlines many critical aspects of the athlete's brain, including
learning motor skills; decision-making; hand preference; visual
perception of speed, distance, and direction; balance; emotions and
mood. Finally, the book discusses the adverse influence of brain
injuries.
