Description
Mind Games is a fascinating exploration of the psychology behind elite-level sports. Annie Vernon draws on her own experiences as an Olympic medalist, as well as insights from a wide range of athletes, coaches, and sports psychologists, to answer the question: what drives individuals to push their minds and bodies to their limits.
From the pressures of performing under pressure to the importance of teamwork and building self-belief, Vernon uncovers the underlying psychological principles behind the sports that everyone enjoys. By examining areas such as motivation, competitiveness, and teamwork, she sheds light on the methods that elite sports-people use to harness the power of their mind in pursuit of physical perfection.
Whether you're a sports fan, a enthusiast of everyday life, or simply curious about the human psyche, Mind Games offers a unique and insightful look at the world of sports psychology.
