About this listen

Sports participation - from the recreational to the collegiate Division I level - is at an all-time high. While the caliber of their game may differ, athletes at every level have one thing in common: they want to excel. In The Champion's Mind, sports psychologist Jim Afremow, PhD, LPC, now offers the same advice he uses with Olympians, Heisman Trophy winners, and professional athletes, including tips and techniques based on high-performance psychology research, such as how to get in a "zone", thrive on a team, and stay humble; how to progress within a sport and sustain excellence long-term, and customizable pre-performance routines to hit full power when the gun goes off or the puck is dropped. The Champion's Mind distills actionable advice into clear and concise steps for athletes looking to find confidence, concentration, and mental preparedness - the mental edge that sets champions apart.

Great reminder to shift/tweak your beliefs

Reminder that being a champion is not always about being number one, but about crossing the finish line without regrets, knowing that you’ve tried your 100% best and put your best effort.

Must read for athletes

If you are an athlete of any kind, this is a must have book. The lessons go beyand the field of play and can be applied almost anywhere in your life. One of those books that you get something new out of it with each read.

Good for beginner athletes

If you are just starting your quest in athletic performance, this book can help you. However, if you are a regular and competitive athlete already well versed in physical and performance concepts, this book will not teach you much.

Great book for helping your mental game

I am a powerlifter and I was looking for a book to help my mental game. I do quite well with the sport but I had a mental block with one of my lifts. I have listened to the book once and have implemented some of the suggested tactics. I listened to it every morning on the way to the gym. I am now listening to the book again to review and implement more tactics. I would recommend this book.

Great message.

I selected this book in the hope that the message would translate beyond the athletic side of my life and it did just that. I plan to listen to the book whenever I need a refresher.

Half Worth It

The first half of this was really good! But it felt like the second half had a lot of useless information.
