Book Description
This book is a practical guide to fast-tracking champions. It requires effort and practice, but when accompanied by an understanding of WHY to use psychology, science, great physical practice and social psychology, it is a powerful tool in getting an edge, developing mastery and forming lifelong relationships. In Part I, we talk about how to think like a champion and how to build champions, using a champion star made up of seven aspects and one central core.In Part 2, we examine each aspect of the champion star in turn, as each star point will give a clue to the behaviour, thinking and preparation of champions.In both Part 1 and Part 2, we learn how to add to the individual's growth by understanding the importance of true expertise, the role of expert feedback and the influence of being part of a group or team. Along the way we learn what top sports science experts, psychologists and scientists have to say about how champions think, prepare and play. You'll be asked questions, given activities to exercise your learning, and given YouTube examples that show how the concepts work. Part 3 then provides practical advice and activities to modify, change and then improve behaviour and results. Finally, the Appendix contains evaluation sheets and lesson plans referred to in the book.
