Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Mind Gym - good perspectives Comment: Quick and easy to read. Full of short stories that help athletes gain perspective into building a stronger mental game. Customer Rating: Summary: Great book; VERY inspirational Comment: Don't be fooled, this book isn't just for athletes. The author includes dozens of quotations and bits of wisdom from various top performers. The book is divided into quick, readable chapters (each about 4-5 pages long) and can easily be read within a few sittings. I personally read one chapter at a time so I could let the knowledge sink into my head and reflect upon it. The book contains tons of great advice for anyone that wants to excel to the top of his or her field. Definitely one of my top books of 2008! Customer Rating: Summary: Well-written and entertaining Comment: If you want to read an inspiring book on the power of the mind in sports, then this book is for you. It is not too packed with information, but it underlines many of the important points in mental coaching. Great stories and examples make it an uplifting read. The only thing missing was a step-by-step instruction guide to mind management - practice makes perfect. Customer Rating: Summary: not what i expected Comment: a solid read, but i was expecting a book that got more into the intricacies of sports psychology, but this book seems to focus more on your thinking off the court then on it. Customer Rating: Summary: Best one for athletes! Comment: I have read several books on the mental game in sports and this is by far the best. I work with collegiate and professional athletes and recommend this so often that Gary Mack should send me a commission!!! More Reviews
