Kirkus ReviewsFrom the Inside Flap
Mental training is just as important as physical training when it comes to success in sport. This book was written specifically for young athletes interested in improving their performance and reaching their potential in sport. Etnier introduces 17 key strategies for mental training, such as goal setting, pre-performance routines, confidence building, and imagery, and offers key points and exercises designed to reinforce the concepts. The book encourages athletes to incorporate these mental skills into their daily lives and practice sessions so that they become second nature during competition.
