1.0 out of 5 stars Uninspiring & repetitive, 27 Mar 2008

By	Mr. R. D. Palmer (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sadly this book isn't what at all what I expected, and overall it's very disappointing. It seems to be more of an advert for a certain mental conditioning company, which is mentioned on just about every other page and at one stage is called by different names. There are several interview extracts with famous sportsmen and women, sadly not too many from the very elite top end (Michael Jordan, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Michael Schumacher etc) and far too much repetition of facts, names and stories. It's also poorly written in places and badly structured throughout, but the worst thing was it taught me nothing I didn't already know.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant book so dip in and be inspired, 10 Feb 2009

By	Mr. E. J. Carr - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is full of tips that you can adapt to your normal life, a good example is Alan Shearer's way of blocking out a missed goal by blowing air through his lip and visualing blowing away the memory to ensure he does not dwell on it.

Lots of inspiring comment and anecdote allow readers who don't have access to motivating speeches by these sportspeople to catch up and be enthused by great sporting heroes

4.0 out of 5 stars How else are you to get into the minds of the successful...?, 29 Jul 2008

By	Fog on the Tyne (Northumberland - England) - See all my reviews

Jeff Grout has met and interviewed many, many top sports stars. This is and opportunity to learn why and how people exceed their best, never give up and lead in their sports.
Covering the sort of topics that you may be told you need to do to be successful, Jeff reveals what life's winners think and do to give them the edge.
You can imagine this being spoken to you as you read the relaxed style.
I enjoyed this.
