I got a few good nuggets out of this book that I believe I can put to good use. This book was funny in spots, too technical (for me) in spots, and others just didn't seem to apply to me....what do you know? I'm not as screwed up as I thought. There seemed to be a lot on whys my head is f*cked up about racing, but a bit short on hows to fix it. For a self-help book probably on par, or a bit better, from most of that I've read from a readability point of view: meaning that in general it was a chore to read but in the end probably worth it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
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; you get crazy nervous before a race, you choke under pressure, you quit when the going gets tough, you make dumb mistakes, you worry about how you look. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? What if you could feel confident, suffer like a hero, and handle any stress? You can. The Brave Athlete from Dr. Simon Marshall and Lesley Paterson will help you take control of your brain so you can train harder, race faster, and better enjoy your sport. Dr. Marshall is a sport psychology expert who trains the brains of elite professional athletes. Paterson is a three-time world champion triathlete and coach. Together, they offer this innovative, brain training guide that is the first to draw from both clinical science and real-world experience with athletes. That means you won't find outdated "positive self-talk" or visualization gimmicks here. No, the set of cutting-edge mental skills revealed in The Brave Athlete actually work because they challenge the source of the thoughts and feelings you don't want. The Brave Athlete is packed with practical, evidence-based solutions to the most common mental challenges athletes face. Which of these sound like you? · Why do I have thoughts and feelings I don't want? · I wish I felt more like an athlete. · I don't think I can. · I don't achieve my goals. · Other athletes seem tougher, happier, and more badass than me. · I feel fat. · I don't cope well with injury. · People are worried about how much I exercise. · I don't like leaving my comfort zone. · When the going gets tough, the tough leave me behind. · I need to harden the f*ck up. · I keep screwing up. · I don't handle pressure well. With The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion, you can solve these problems to become mentally strong and make your brain your most powerful asset.

There is a good, comprehensible backgrounds on stress, pressure and self doubt as well as strategies to deal with in these situations. a number of the strategies are related to products that are available externally (e.g. Headspace, Breathing Zone).
The author(s) have done a good job of communicating complex concepts in an evidence based (references in the written text?), but intelligible, manner. The techniques they discuss owe much to the strategies discussed by Prof. Steve Peters (The Chimp Paradox). Flicking through the written text there seem to be references to literature included, but not the audiobook. Could they be added to the pdf?
I listened to the audiobook version walking to and from work. Having done so I have now got the print version as there are many '...in the accompanying pdf...' statements. Yes, I have the accompanying pdf, which is good, but I think sitting down with the book and doing the exercises / practicing the techniques is going to add value.
Overall a good listen / read OK to listen to when commuting, but I feel that the written text will hold more benefits, for me personally. I would recommend this book as an interesting and informative read, but be aware that it does have a conversational tone in presentation of the topics. For me, a good thing. ( )
