In this edition, updated with material on today's best athletes, top sports psychologist, Steven Ungerleider, reveals the mental strategies champions use to win in a variety of sports—from cycling and skiing, to golf and tennis.

Mental Training for Peak Performance teaches you that sweat isn't enough. Before you can win on the track, court, links, or slopes, you have to win in your mind.

Steven Ungerleider has coached sporting champions such as Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Serena and Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova and many others.

The book provides detailed descriptions of mental techniques that work, explaining how to:

• build confidence with affirmations and self-talk
• clear your mind with breathing and meditation
• maximise performance with mental snapshots
• improve your game with guided imagery
• use visual rehearsal to fine-tune your style
• tap in to the power of dreams
