Train your will


Book Description

Erik Oestenkjaer is one of the world's leading sport psychologists and mental coaches, and in this book, he draws from his more than 35 years of experience with optimization and development of the will and willpower. TRAIN YOUR WILL is aimed not only at top athletes and sportsmen, but for all, who want to develop or even surpass themselves. The book is written with thoughts of you, who want to optimize your own performance, be it as a parent, athlete, executive or coach. A stronger will make it easier to get rid of the habits and attitudes that stand in the way of a better life. The will is therefore both a solution in itself and a tool to achieve anything you want. The will is a muscle and this book shows you how to train that muscle. "In my experience, a strengthened will can change everything", writes Erik Oestenkjaer. You too can start strengthening your will anytime, anywhere, and at any time and, any age.
