This book is masterfully written. It is a must read for any serious coach or athlete interested in improving performance. I would strongly recommend this book be part of every coach's and athlete's library

Brent McFarlane

Author of "The Science of Hurdling and Speed"

If you are to compete at the highest level or just to be at the top of your genetic potential Brian's book is an indispensable part of what the coach and athlete need to achieve that aim. Sportsmen need to prepare all parameters of performance and Brian has outlined and outfitted you to do just that. His approach covers masterfully in an easily digestible format what one needs to do and practice to allow that 5% to direct that 95% to its genetic best. All of what one needs to improve psychological performance is there. This is one book or in this case one course that the coach and athlete should not be without. Mental skills are attainable, but must be practiced the same as any physical skill. Let Brian help you to expand your ability to be the 100% complete athlete. This work is extremely well done.
