Summary: FUNny!
Review: I laugh at a couple of of the Reviews! First of all, everone knows that Tony Robber, the king of commercials doesn't originate anything so it cannot be rehash. The other skeptic seemed to write a simmilar issue. The book is PHENOMINAL, otherwise, the world class athletes that it mentions, would not have partaken in it!

Review: I participate in dog agility competitions and can honestly say that besides my dog, this book is my best friend when it comes to training and competing. Baum's "perception stretchers" are my favorite: they teach you how to put your sport in perspective, reflect realistically and objectively on your performances, and maintain the best attitude possible. I haven't even implemented all of his techniques yet, and already my success rate has increased from less than 25% to over 75% over the last several competitions. I've set goals, implemented a plan to achieve them, and am truly enjoying all my competitions, win or lose. I'm sure my dog has picked up on my attitude shift, and is performing better because of it. If you compete in agility and are sick of not qualifying due to "handler error", this book is for you. Buy it! Read it!

Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Review: I play tennis and I've read the other books mentioned along with this book and the old stand by, "Inner Game of Tennis". This book blows the others AWAY! It is simple to read and easy to follow. I couldn't put this one down the first time through it! I am now going back through it and highlighting all my favorite exercises and examples. The other books are dry and hard to follow. Why go dry if you can have USER FRIENDLY?!?!? This book is better than any book I've read on the mental side of sports INCLUDING those that are sport specific! Buy it and you'll be glad you did. P.S. Write in for the stuff in the back of the book too!

Summary: INTERESTING!
Review: I wonder if the two negative reviews were written by the same person who might just be a writer of one of the lesser, competing books? .....Hmmmmm! Anyways, I found this book that someone had left behind on an airplane in the pocket. I was with my team returning from a tournament. It's too bad that we didn't have this book PRIOR to the tourney! I'm certain that we'd have had a different reult. At any rate, I'm looking forward to the following season -- so is my team....I bought them each a book! Mr. Baum, if you ever read this, thank you very much. I can already see the renewed enthusiasm from my team. I think you've made a world of difference in not just the sporting life, but also the everyday lives of many you may never have the chance to meet. ...and for the person who left this behind, thank you very much. I'm sure you did so by accident, and if you contact me at my above email address, I'd be happy to return a NEW book to you. I may even buy you the audio tapes. :O] Go Titans!

Review: Probably the best of the mental training books I've read, but I don't really think the "program" is the most clear written out there. It just doesn't seem a whole program is necessary for this stuff to work likes it's supposed to.

Review: The Mental Edge is a great book. I couldn't put it down, even though I am very busy. Aren't we all! I bought the book because I thought it would help my 16-year-old son who plays football and rugby. However, after reading just the first chapter, it became clear that the book is not only relevant to all athletes, it is also relevant to anyone who wants to do better in achieving any goal. Great book! Thank you, Mr. Baum
