The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The Brave Athlete from Dr. Simon Marshall and Lesley Paterson will help you take control of your thoughts and feelings so you can train harder, race faster, and better enjoy your sport. Dr. Marshall is a sport psychology expert who trains the brains of elite professional athletes. Paterson is a three-time world champion triathlete and coach. Together, they offer this innovative, brain training guide that is the first to draw from both clinical science and real-world experience with athletes.
That means you won't find outdated "positive self-talk" or visualization gimmicks here. No, the set of cutting-edge mental skills revealed in The Brave Athlete actually work because they challenge the source of the thoughts and feelings you don't want. The Brave Athlete is packed with practical, evidence-based solutions to the most common mental challenges athletes face. Which of these sound like you?
With The Brave Athlete, you can solve these problems to become mentally strong and make your brain your most powerful asset.
