The Champion's Mind
Jim Afremow, PhD, is a licensed counselor and sports psychologist at Arizona State University. He has worked closely with athletes at all levels, including MLB, NBA, WNBA, NFL, NHL, PGA Tour, and LPGA Tour players, as well as business professionals, performing artists, and others in demanding professions.
Even among the most elite athletes, certain athletes stand out as a cut above the rest, capable of outperforming in game-changing situations. These athletes demonstrate that raw athletic ability does not always translate to a superior on-field experience—it is the mental game that is most important.
Sports participation is at an all-time high, from recreational to collegiate Division I levels. While the caliber of their games may vary, athletes at all levels share one trait: the desire to excel. Sports psychologist Jim Afremow, PhD, offers the same advice he gives to Olympians, Heisman Trophy winners, and professional athletes in The Champion's Mind, including:
- How to get into a "zone," thrive as part of a team, and remain humble
- Customizable pre-performance routines to hit full power when the gun goes off or the puck is dropped
Among the best books on fitness, The Champion's Mind will help you shape your body to ensure a longer, healthier, happier lifetime, with hundreds of useful tips, groundbreaking science, and cutting-edge workouts from the world's top trainers.
