Mind of the Athlete: Clearer Mind, Better Performance

by Jarrod Spencer, Matt Millen (Foreword)

"This book teaches you how to understand yourself and your opponents. It teaches you how to process your emotions, such as fear and anxiety. All are driven from the mind.

I believe that a clearer mind leads to a better performance and a focused mind leads to one’s best performance. The only way to focus is to be clear. If you can clear out everything else and focus on what has to be done to win the competition, you will be better at winning.

Dr. Jarrod Spencer defines in this book how the mind works. While some of it may sound unfamiliar, when you get the to the end of the book you’ll have a better understanding of not only how the mind works, but how you can work your mind."

Great book! Dr. Spencer has a great way of making complicated concepts easy to understand for those of us who do not have degrees in psychology, and I think that this is great for coaches and athletes alike. Coaches should read it to understand what athletes are going (especially those of us who have been out of the competition game for a while), and athletes should read it to improve their performance and more importantly their ability to thrive as human beings. Highly recommend!
