Summary: An absolute must for reaching one's maximum potential!
Review: The Mental Edge is the mind body connection! I am a girls' high school volleyball coach in CA and the team uses Mr. Baums techniques religously. These techniques never allow the mind to get in the way of the body. The athlete learns to bombard his/herself with positive thoughts of previous success! The book is a must for any serious athlete. I have had the pleasure to work personally with Mr. Kenneth Baum and I am a better person, coach, and athlete because of our association! Results come quickly!

Summary: Sports Psychology for athletes not psychologists
Review: This book is geared towards the athlete. A lot of the books on this subject are written like a doctorate thesis (maybe they are). This book is loaded with practical excercises and techniques that will help you improve your performance. If you have read any other sports psychology books, most of the theories described here are not new or ground breaking but are described in a very concise manner with plenty of examples. You can go through this book in a couple of days and then go back through it to pick up anything that you missed. I recommend this to any athlete looking to improve his/her performance.

Summary: Catalyst for Success
Review: This book offers insights into best ways to mentally prepare for Success on any "playing field" of Life. The suggestions make good sense and one can put them into practice at work from Day 1. They have also been of help to my son who just started running Cross Country (Track). He had his best run ever this past week following some of these suggestions!

Summary: Best I know of guide ... coated in "So. California" Glitz
Review: This is really a very book that overcomes an all too common presentation flaw:Why is it good: The Mental Edge provides the clearest and most comprehensive program for developing metal training routines that can/will improve performance. And if you are good at some endeavor - you have already learned the base skills needed -- from there on it is mental. Again, of all the books (too many) on trying to understand and develop procedures .. this is the best The all too common flaw: The constant digressions regarding annecdotes and exhortations of "you can if you only believe." The content is great but in many cases the presentation would embarrass Shirly McLain. Nonetheless, I would encourage anyone with a sports objective to read (grit their way through). The specific recomendations are again the best compilation and application of mental training I know of
