Samenvatting:

Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions. Coach Dan Spainhour explains how affirmations can benefit coaches of every sport at every level. When I used to hear all the talk about affirmations I had a tendency to think of some New Age feel good stuff that had little to do with coaching. However, the more I investigated the process of affirmations I came to realize maybe it was only the term affirmations that caused me not to take the process seriously. I've always believed in the importance of self-talk and the effects it has on performance. I also believed that as Peter Davies says, Motivation is like food for the brain, you cannot get enough in one setting. And as Bob Knight says, 'Mental is to physical as four is to one.' This book helps athletes gain the mental edge.
