Product Description
Review
"Within the book, Jeremy simplifies the learnings of what at first glance are some complex areas through the activities that he presents, the tips that he supplies and the intriguing personal stories he provides as to how he has worked with athletes to enable them to make huge leaps in their performance - all of which allow the reader to extract the vital information presented quickly and effectively. I urge anybody who is an athlete wishing to improve their sporting potential, or anybody working within the athlete set-up to read this book and challenge themselves to implement the learnings from it in all aspects of their lives". From the Preface by JJ Smith, Lecturer and Researcher of Sport Psychology, Loughborough University
Product Description
More and more people are realising that, as with all areas of life, your results in sport depend crucially on your ability to use your mind effectively. Certainly many elite sports performers say that the mental aspects of the sport make the difference between being a champion or not. The way you use your mind determines the level of success and fulfilment you gain from sport, whether at professional or recreational level. Ahead of the Game is written for sports coaches, athletes and players of all levels who want to learn some leading edge yet tried and tested techniques and approaches to using your mind more effectively, and helping others to do the same. It draws on many of the techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), proven methods to achieve success. Ahead of the Game takes you through the techniques and approaches step by step, and is full of practical exercises and examples of how these techniques have been used with athletes so that you can adapt the techniques to suit you.

Format:Paperback
One of the most frustrating aspects of books on NLP is that though they often promise to be a guide to how to practice NLP, they often turn out to be more of a guide to the principles underlying NLP. This excellent work - written in a lively and engaging manner - actually delivers on how to undertake the NLP enterprise. It is ultimately a practical guide to improving sports performance via NLP methods, and it keeps its eye on that ball the whole time. More abstract notions and understanding are employed when it is necessary to do so, but Jeremy Lazarus doesn't fall into the trap of putting the cart before the horse.
An immensely useful work which has provided me with clear-cut directions that I've been able to put into practice immediately.

I'm an NLP Practicioner with a particular interest in Sport. I am also a trained Hypnotherapist. I have also coached international basketball teams for over 15 years. I have read Ahead Of The Game Twice. It is a really excellent book for all athletes and coaches willing to invest a little time. I think i have read nearly all similar books that have been published in recent years and i would put this at the top of the list. many books describe problems, often without solutions for the athlete. This book focuses on the solutions to the problems and are easy to follow and put into practice.

Probably the best book on NLP I have read. Full of practical examples and ideas, Jeremy brings the theory to life in a way that is engaging, well-written and easy to use. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone - sportsperson, coach, NLP Practitioner - who is interested developing performance in sport, or in fact any other area of life where mental performance and resilience is important. From a personal perspective it has given me some interesting new insights on how to use many NLP techniques with my sporting clients.
