it was ok
bookshelves: psychology, sports-psychology

Imagine you buy a cookbook expecting all kinds of delicious recipes and useful food-prep techniques, and instead you end up with a bunch of stories about how one time, this one guy, in this one kitchen, baked a pie so bad that no one would eat it... So what did he do? He blocked all the negative self-talk, used more butter, and that's how he baked the best peach cobbler in the land and won first place at the fair!

So that's where we're at. This book is not so much a guide in the sense that it outlines a practice to become better at managing the mental game, it is more of a compendium of stories that illustrate some isolated aspects of sports psychology and how they were used successfully by his clients.

It is very quotable and entertaining to read, but it is a bit aspirational as far as guides go.
