Competitive Fire

Rating:
Summary: Great for a serious athlete
Review: I am a college athlete who previously struggled with fear prior and during competition. This book helped me channel my stress that was holding me back from performing my best. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has had similar experiences.

Summary: Competitive Fire - Not my favorite book on the subject
Review: I've been reading a number of Sports Psychology books of the past months. I found Competitive Fire to be the least compelling of the books I've read. Clarkson provides many quotes and examples from professional athletes, but doesn't manage to organize the material in a way that provides "Insights to developing the warrior mentality". I found it to be a repetitive collection of quotes with no particular direction.

I much prefer and recommend Flow in Sports by Susan A. Jackson, or In Pursuit of Excellence by Terry Orlick. You might also check out Mastery by George Leonard, or The Mental Edge by Loren Christensen.
