So, how do we engineer our mindset? How do we get our mental game right, so that we can perform at our best, consistently? Peak Performance Every Time provides readers with a detailed look into how to build the critical components of a great mental game. It will help them to hone their focus, control their confidence, master motivation and deliver their best ‘under pressure’. In short, it will help deliver peak performance, every time. The book provides a practical guide to performance psychology, based on approaches and methods that have been tried and tested in the demanding world of elite sport.
