4 out of 5 stars Mind Gym - good perspectives   September 7, 2008
Quick and easy to read. Full of short stories that help athletes gain perspective into building a stronger mental game.


5 out of 5 stars Great book; VERY inspirational   September 4, 2008
Don't be fooled, this book isn't just for athletes. The author includes dozens of quotations and bits of wisdom from various top performers. The book is divided into quick, readable chapters (each about 4-5 pages long) and can easily be read within a few sittings. I personally read one chapter at a time so I could let the knowledge sink into my head and reflect upon it.

The book contains tons of great advice for anyone that wants to excel to the top of his or her field. Definitely one of my top books of 2008!



4 out of 5 stars Well-written and entertaining   July 12, 2008
If you want to read an inspiring book on the power of the mind in sports, then this book is for you. It is not too packed with information, but it underlines many of the important points in mental coaching. Great stories and examples make it an uplifting read. The only thing missing was a step-by-step instruction guide to mind management - practice makes perfect.


3 out of 5 stars not what i expected   February 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

a solid read, but i was expecting a book that got more into the intricacies of sports psychology, but this book seems to focus more on your thinking off the court then on it.


5 out of 5 stars Best one for athletes!   October 5, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have read several books on the mental game in sports and this is by far the best. I work with collegiate and professional athletes and recommend this so often that Gary Mack should send me a commission!!!
