it was amazing
bookshelves: leadership, coaching, on-going-resource

Great resource tool for performance development whether it be in athletics, vocational life or a particular avocation where you are seeking to excel. I often use this book with coaching clients and pair it with 'The War of Art' as resource tools.

His key premise is that we reach a level of physical competency that can only be elevated by our mental game. The peak level of performance is unleashed - or stopped by what we think - not what we do. This is about developing our mental game.
It is critical that we understand the core of our selves - how we are wired, what stops us, what motivates us and what can help us break through to the next level. Gary Mack does a great job of giving short 'exercises' with stories about what is needed in order to access our peak performance.

By changing our thinking - we can change our performance.
It is our responsibility to think and access our potential - and learn what our blocks are and choose to shut them out.
We must 'learn how to learn' so we can constantly improve.
He addresses 'fear' at length. Fear is a two edged sword - At some level it can motivate and at other levels it can shut us down. Being aware of fear and what level to let in and what level to shut out - is critical to performance improvement (and moving ahead in life)

I've underlined over 100 key concepts in this book that are useful for me as an elite athlete and as a performance coach.
Highly recommend this one :)
