About this listen
Want to become more mentally tough? This audiobook will teach you how. Whether you are an athlete, coach, parent, dancer, musician, or any other performer, this book gives you strategies you can start using today that will help enhance your performances and, ultimately, your life.
Focusing on the five cardinal skills of mental toughness as taught by Dr. Keith Henschen for over 40 years, you will learn the same techniques used by elite athletes and performers around the world.
Section one discusses the psychological factors that influence performance. Section two covers the cardinal psychological skills and teaches you how to develop them in yourself and in others. Section three includes the "other factors to consider" such as burnout, the psychology of injury, kids and performance, and coaching gems regarding performance. The epilogue includes "the rest of the story", which is positive rivalries, sportsmanship, character development, and perspective.

We make most of our decisions based on our emotions. There are three aspects you need to be familiar with if you must understand how your emotions influence you.

Many times, the source of our hard feelings and mental stress is a thinking pattern which we cannot shut down. Our thoughts (cognition) have a significant influence on our emotional feelings. Our behavior is usually automatic and lacking a decision-making process, which leads us again and again to the same outcome and the same feeling. CBT is about dealing with the thoughts and behaviors which lead us to the same feelings of suffering. In this outstanding book, you will be able to learn about CBT, discover its benefits, try it on yourself, and reap the benefits!

Do you tend to overanalyze everything? Do you have trouble getting to sleep? Do you worry about the future? Then pay attention. You might seem a bit confused about what could be wrong about thinking too much. Is it not good? Getting lost in your thoughts is relatively harmless, but that is not what overthinking is. Overthinking is when your mind gets overloaded by a couple of negative thoughts that seem to be on an endless loop that keeps playing faster and faster.

Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

Story5 out of 5 stars 32
Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.
