Publisher's summary

Along the path to any goal - completing a marathon or a thesis paper, winning a medal or a contract - familiar mental hurdles arise: We may fixate on the odds of failure or find our interest flags two-thirds of the way through. That’s when elite endurance athletes - top performers in running, cycling, and swimming - turn to their rich arsenal of cognitive strategies to overcome self-doubt and unlock peak performance. The Genius of Athletes combines cutting-edge science with illustrative interviews to show how we, too, can find success in any realm with proven methods from sports psychology:

  • Setting process goals
  • Breaking tasks into smaller objectives
  • If - then planning
  • And more

Taking pointers from athletes like Olympian Meb Keflezighi? That’s sure to be a winning strategy!

Life's like a race

The strategies were clearly explained and excellent examples given. I especially liked the way he refered to previously discussed techniques by chapter where they were covered. I've now listened twice. I will repeat, probably once a month, until I really get this down.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
