"What makes a winner - in business or in sport? Why do some people consistently break sales targets, cross the line first or hammer the ball in the net with pinpoint accuracy? Natural talent and disciplined training are vital. But with two equally matched professionals, something else makes the difference that provides that extra, champion factor: the mind.
Mind Games looks into the mental processes of sporting stars, identifying the attitudes and approaches that enable them to achieve peak performance, every time, and applies them specifically to the world of business. What are the key mental characteristics that make some people come out on top? How do winners channel adrenalin into controlled power while losers choke? What do sportsmen and women mean when they talk about 'the inner game', being 'in the zone' or being 'in the now'? What is it that coaches do to realise the potential they see? What are the lessons that business winners need to learn from sport's superstars?
Mind Games has the full involvement of over 30 sporting household names, including Sven-Göran Eriksson, Matthew Pinsent, Clive Woodward, Nick Faldo, Jonny Wilkinson. The authors draw on extensive first-hand experiences of acknowledged sporting champions across a range of sports, identifying personal techniques proven to have worked under the pressure of top-level competition. They also draw on the expertise of professional coaches and psychologists who have worked with sportsmen and women. "

Chapter One

TRUE GRIT

What does it take to be a champion? Talent, certainly. But talent isn't enough to be a world-beater. In sport, as in other areas of life, personal characteristics and mental qualities make the difference between repeated success and failure, between taking a champion's title and finishing in the last four.

These characteristics - the desire to win, the ability to learn from failure, the willingness to try new techniques, to name a few - arise time and again in the elite sportsmen and women who have managed to maintain their form over repeated competitions. Such personal features are considered throughout in this book. First up for examination is the requirement for discipline and determination, a touch of selfishness and the essential killer instinct.

EARLY DISCIPLINE

Champions generally have to start training at a young age. That means ... read full excerpt from Mind Games: Inspirational Lessons from the World's Biggest Sports Stars ebook
