I have two friends who are professional MMA fighters and they've got a lot out of this book as well. I also like that Loehr includes a section on physical conditioning being key to being mentally tough. Highly recommended. I've now purchased 5 copies of this book to give as gifts. Fantastic material covering everything needed to reach what Loehr calls the IPS Ideal Performer State.
It's a quick read and very well-written. Very interesting points made in this book.
This book has just about everything you need to know to take you game to the next level.If your short on time skip through and just read chapters 1,7,9,11, 14 and 15. And it gave me ways to be a tough thinker and a actor. Everyone knows its important to try and be tough but not everyone knows how. This book is a very useful tool for any aspiring athlete. Theres 18 chapters total. And I'm certain that if one applies these techniques you will see big gains. Some of it is obvious and some it is quarky but altogether it is very useful. This book helped me understand my emotions as they relate to my sport.
At least, you will approach the "mental game" in a new way. This book provides some great "food for thought" for practitioners of any sport, be it a team or an individual sport. You do not have to believe every word or make all the written exercises the author proposes; just read and think.
Think of this as a cookbook of recipes for creating the appropriate mental response at the right time. Extremely helpful "how to" book for becoming mentally tough. Unlike other sports pysche books, this one tells you very specific things to do to improve concentration, focus and most important, resiliency.
