In pursuit of excellence : how to win in sport and life through mental training

Written in an easy-to-understand, instructive style, this second edition of "In Pursuit of Excellence" is the supplemental text for courses that cover basic sport psychology techniques. It covers the psychological concepts of concentration, winning, losing, and competing successfully. This sport performance book by internationally recognised sport psychologist Terry Orlick has undergone a complete revitalization. Better organized for easier reading, the second edition includes dozens of new examples taken from Orlick's real-life experiences with champion athletes and their coaches.
