Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)FINALLY....a book that DOESN'T dwell on the "zone", "left brain/right brain", visualizations, etc.... That's all pertinet info and great for technical sports (golf, bowling, target shooting, etc...), but when you're turning your guts inside out under the hot summer sun, and you have demons in your head screaming to stop....you need a bit more mental ammo than that.
As a competitive cyclist, it was imperative I learn how to control my thoughts & emotions, eliminate my mental limitations, overcome mental weaknesses, endure the physical discomfort, etc.... From the most fundemental level, to the "how to" details, this book would help any athlete (regardless of discipline) in turning mental weaknesses into strengths. This is THE ONLY book that I've found that discusses such topics. Well written, and highly recommended.

Triathlon is certainly physically demanding, to say the least, but most triathletes would agree that it is the mental aspect that can determine whether or not they achieve their competitive goals. Resources addressing this key aspect have been hard to come by — until now. In The Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training, the authors — both accomplished sport psychologists and Ironman triathletes — offer readers in-depth, practical information and skills they can use to build mental muscle. Readers learn first how to assess their psychological strengths and weaknesses, and then discover the six mental factors that most affect triathlon performance. The book includes essential tools for training and competition, such as routines, mental imagery, and tips on getting organized and setting goals, and also explores what it takes to be an Ironman, the unhealthy side of triathlon, and valuable lessons to be learned from the world's best triathletes.
