However, this small book can take you a long way in transforming yourself into a highly performing athlete. Making a sports psychology workbook both simple and powerful is challenging.

This road map for the mental game has many mental practices that you'll do on a daily basis. Each day you'll read a paragraph or two about a specific sports psychology topic. Then you'll actively engage your imagination for 15 minutes and see, feel and hear yourself making improvements in the ways that you train and compete. You'll find great satisfaction as you learn, make changes and improve your performance and how you apply your mind and body in sports. I developed the idea of mental practice because of my experience as an athlete. I had some successes in sports through high school and college, but I knew that I wasn't fully using my ability. I knew how to train my body, but I didn't know how to train my mind. I didn't know how to manage my nerves. I didn't know how to handle pressure. My experiences as an athlete started me on a lifelong journey to unlock the mysteries of the mind and how to harness its power to make significant improvements in sports performance. I'm glad to share the results of my searching in this and my other books. Schools focus primarily on teaching us how to solve problems using our analytical ability. We learn to analyze problems using math and logic. Our analytical skills are wonderful, but they're not the key skills that we need to improve our mental game. For that, we need to use our imagination. That's the key to developing a strong mental game. That's what you'll learn to do with mental practice. This book is for young and older athletes who want to begin to work on improving their mental game. The mental practice method is simple. I'll teach you what you need to know about how the brain works in a few pages. You'll learn the essential parts of a mental game. Then you'll start to apply your knowledge in your mental game right away. That's one of the most powerful aspects of this book. You'll be focused on implementing changes from the start using your increasingly powerful imagination.
