Bob shares several methods to calm your mind and get in the zone, which has been a struggle for me when competing. I don't do well with books that try to implement meditation during sport because it's unrealistic to expect the type of atmosphere that requires that type of quiet mind. His methods take some practice at home in a quiet setting, but can be used at any point thereafter.

This isn't a book you read once, but instead something you use as a tool chest. Read it, highlight in it and make notes. You'll thank yourself later.
