      Science Of Strength

      Dec 16, 2019

      I have lost count of the times I have heard a runner say that they don’t do strength training. When asked why, I almost always get the response: “I don’t need it.” I then ask “How many times have you been injured?” or “Don’t you wish you were faster?

      Sports Psychology - Jonny Bell

      Why You Should Read This Book

      Have you ever wanted to get a leg up on the competition?

      Have you ever struggled with confidence issues on the field?

      There is a good chance you have answered yes to both of those questions. If you said no, you are probably so good that you don’t need this book, but the truth is that there are large numbers of people who would like a psychological boost that will take their game to the next level.

      Sport psychology is an important part of competition and provides very valuable tools that make it possible to overcome almost any set-back that you might face as an athlete. Whether it is confidence, problems setting goals, lacking drive, or feeling like you just aren’t good enough, there are very specific tactics that will make sure that is no longer a problem.

      The key lies in providing a much deeper understanding of what is going on internally when you are competing and practicing. Once you know how your mind works and what kind of control it has over you, it is possible to make changes with a variety of techniques that will make it simple and easy to break down the emotions and problems that you have.

      The greatest thing about these kinds of techniques is that they are beneficial in an all around, holistic way that improves almost every aspect of your life. There are very few parts of your life that can’t benefit from a little bit more drive and confidence, am I right?

      In total, throughout this book you are going to learn:

      How to call on confidence when you need it.

      How to set goals that will not only be realistic, but measurable.

      How to visualize success and make it happen in the real world.

      Ways to develop success rituals that will turn your mental game on autopilot.

      Balancing your energy levels with the relaxation required for peak performance.

      What you can do any time that you are feeling down or like you can’t do something.

      A the end of the day, the way that you mentally prepare for a competition is just as important as the physical preparations that you do. Without having your head in the game, you won’t be able to use any of the skills that you have been working day and night to build. Armed with the tools you’ll learn here, you’ll be able to take everything you do to the next level.

      Chapter 1. What Is Sports Psychology?

      Sport psychology is the study of how various psychological factors play a role in sport performance across a broad range of factors. It also covers the application of this kind of research into helping people in all physical activities perform better than they ever have in the past.

      As a profession, sport psychologists are responsible for taking a look at how an athlete is performing and what they can do to help remedy any problems that they are having.

      No matter what level of performance someone is at, whether they are a professional or a newcomer to a sport, many people have wondered whether or not they are performing at their best, not only on a physical level but at a mental one as well.

      This is certainly not a replacement for physical training that helps to truly perfect technique, but there are ways of enhancing performance and taking full advantage of the other work that a person has put into learning their sport.

      Achieving Peak Performance

      The primary reason that athletes get into sport psychology is to increase and enhance their performance in ways that their physical training hasn't. This comes in a variety of forms, but primarily there are three things that you can be concerned with:

      Building Confidence
