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.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by \u003ci\u003eSir Clive Woodward \u003c\/i\u003eOBE vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Personality Power 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: True Grit 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: I Believe! 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Positive Power 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysis I: Personality Power 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Motivational Matters 53\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Success Magnet 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Fleeing Failure 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Goals Galore 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysis II: Motivational Matters 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Mental Training 93\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Mental Rehearsal 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Anchors and Triggers 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Preparing for Pressure 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Review and Revise 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Coaching Relationships 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysis III: Mental Training 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: Peak Performance 171\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Nerve Control 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: The Rock of Routine 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Positive Talk 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Into the Zone 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Focus and Refocus 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysis IV: Peak Performance 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V: Team Spirit 243\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17: The Right Combination 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Team Build-up 255\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19: Team Talks 267\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysis V: Team Spirit 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 283\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Capstone","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52470048063768,"sku":"9781841127392","price":8.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781841127392.jpg?v=1785630047","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mind-games-inspirational-lessons-from-the-worlds-finest-sports-stars-paperback-softback-9781841127392","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
