Mental attitude in sport is the difference between winning/performing well and losing/performing badly. Many elite athletes say that the mental aspects of sport make the difference between being a champion or not. Whether at professional or recreational level, your mindset determines the degree of success and fulfillment you achieve from your sport. Ahead of the Game will teach you how to use your mind to win and perform to your best in sport.

Ahead of the Game is written for sports coaches, athletes and players of all levels who want to learn some leading-edge yet tried and tested techniques to using your mind more effectively, and helping others to do the same. It draws on many of the techniques from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), proven methods to achieve success and better results, faster. Ahead of the Game takes you through the techniques and approaches step by step, and is full of practical exercises and examples of how these techniques have been used with athletes so that you can adapt the techniques to suit you in all sports, including major sports like athletics, football/soccer, tennis, golf, basketball and swimming.
