Book Description
Are you willing to dig a little deeper to win? Then arm yourself with the tools you need to understand, manage, and maximize your mental and emotional forces-factors that often determine whether you're an all-star or an “also-ran.”
In Mastering Your Inner Game, you will first learn how this innovative approach has worked for five real athletes facing real challenges. Then sport psychologist David Kauss will help you identify the people and events in your life that have either contributed to your success or in some way undermined your sport performance. Once you've pinpointed these underlying factors, Kauss teaches you how to develop and apply individualized mental training packages to raise or regain your performance level.
Whether you want to break out of a slump, build confidence, or sharpen your focus, Mastering Your Inner Game is your guide to becoming a mentally and emotionally superior athlete.
From the Publisher
“I was 35, the mother of two small boys, and trying to prepare for the most important competition of my life, the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Dave Kauss enabled me to reach my goals. He gave me the tools I needed to acknowledge my fears, capitalize on my strengths, and balance my home life with my competitive life. I couldn't have done it without him. Thanks, Dave.”
Linda Hanley 1996 U.S. Olympic volleyball team
“As a professional motocross rider, I know that mental preparation is just as important as physical training in my sport. Dave Kauss showed me how to mentally prepare for a race, ride relaxed, and work on my weak points to make them as strong as my strongest points. I believe the results of his program speak for themselves.”
Mike Kiedrowski Four-time U.S. national outdoor motocross champion
“The program Dr. Kauss has developed provides a functional mental preparation program that I use daily for training and competition. It naturally encompasses cognitive components in preparation for the mental and physical demands of competition. The program also incorporates important values and beliefs that carry over to my life and goals beyond athletics. It is a functional and focused mental preparation program that effectively equips athletes with the necessary tools to meet the mental demands of competition.”
