Noel Brick & Scott Douglas 
Strong Minds: How to Unlock the Power of Elite Sports Psychology to Accomplish Anything [EPUB ebook] 

“Highlights the mental strategies elite athletes employ to get an edge on their competition.”—The New York Times
With an all-new foreword: competition-tested cognitive strategies to help triumph over any obstacle

If you ask research psychologist Noel Brick and bestselling fitness writer Scott Douglas, the “dumb jock” stereotype is way out of bounds. No world-class athlete succeeds without a strong
mental game, including unique ways of analyzing situations, self-motivating, and even thinking about time. Cutting-edge discoveries (some by Dr. Brick himself) reveal how champions do it—and how we can, too.
Brick and Douglas pair groundbreaking science with instructive moments across the sports realm to show how legendary athletes like marathoner Meb Keflezighi, World Cup champion soccer player Megan Rapinoe, and Olympian Michael Phelps stay on top of their game. Whether it’s sticking the landing at a job interview or racing your thesis to the finish line,
Strong Minds is a slam-dunk approach for accomplishing anything.

Strong Minds was previously published in hardcover as
