Acclaimed sports psychologist Bob Rotella has advised everyone from
professional golfers to NBA superstars to business executives on
how to flourish under pressure and overcome challenges. "Rotella's
philosophy is astonishingly simple...his success rate...is
phenomenal" (The New York Times). Now, for the first time, he's
distilled his decades of in-depth research and practical experience
into a potential-unlocking guide for everyone, from businesspeople
to athletes to parents. Most psychology is focused on trying to
make abnormal people normal. Bob Rotella's work is to make normal
people exceptional. How Champions Think takes readers inside the
minds of winners in many fields. It explores how to keep the mind
from holding you back, whatever your physical gifts or other
talents. It's about how to make a commitment, how to persevere, how
to deal with failure. It's about how to train your mind to create a
self-image that promotes confidence and accomplishment. Any
successful life starts with how you see yourself. And with these
pearls of wisdom from the nation's preeminent sports psychologist,
you can learn to achieve the success of your dreams.
"Straightforward and simple...Do the math. Read Rotella" (The Wall
Street Journal).

PERFECT with a book filled with anecdotes and motivational
instruction focusing on the most important skill a golfer can have:
the ability to think confidently. Filled with inspirational stories

El Dr. Bob Rotella es hoy en dia uno de los asesores de juego de
mayor prestigio en Estados Unidos. Entre sus numerosos clientes
profesionales se encuentran Nick Price (nombrado Jugador del Ano,
en 1994), Tom Kite, Davis Love III, Pat Bradley, Brad Faxon, John
Daly y muchos mas. Rotella o 'Doc', como carinosamente le llama la
mayoria de ellos, va mas alla de los conocidos aspectos mentales
del juego y de la consolidacion de tecnicas especificas. Lo que
Rotella consigue en este extraordinario libro, ademas de lo que
logra con sus propios clientes, es crear una actitud y disposicion
mental que abarcan todos los aspectos del juego del golf, desde la
preparacion mental hasta la competicion. Y lo que es mas asombroso,
lo consigue con un estilo coloquial y una combinacion variada de
anecdotas y lecciones. Como atestiguan algunos de los mejores
jugadores del mundo, los resultados son espectaculares. Los
golfistas mejoraran su juego y se divertiran mas jugando al golf.
Algunas de sus citas son: * En el primer tee, un golfista debe
esperar solo dos cosas: divertirse y centrar de forma correcta su
mente en cada golpe. * Un golfista debe aprender a aceptar el
desafio cuando envia la bola al rough, a los arboles o al bunker.
Las alternativas rabia, miedo, lamentaciones y trampas no
solucionan nada. * La confianza es crucial para un buen golf. La
confianza es simplemente la suma de pensamientos que tienes de ti
mismo. * Es mas importante ser decidido que ser exacto cuando estas
preparando cualquier golpe, especialmente un putt.
Bobby Jobe is a pro golfer whose swing is better than his attitude. When he bogies the last four holes and blows his lead in a major tournament -- again -- he berates his caddy, Henry "Greyhound" Mote. Jobe loses both Greyhound, who walks off the course, and the game. And before the day is out, he'll lose his eyesight to a lightning strike and his future in golf -- unless he can do what no one has ever done blind: make a comeback. Bob Cullen's funny and wise story, full of PGA lore, perfectly captures the mysterious and irresistible nature of the game of golf, not to mention, love, friendship, and life.
