Product Description

Product Description

Mark Wagh was one of only five English batsmen to hit 1,000 runs in Division One of the County Championship in 2008, when his team Nottinghamshire reached late September just one day of good cricket from winning the title.
At the start of the year he undertook to write this diary, describing the inner journey of his season, with all its ups and downs and its constant mental challenges. As the former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming says in his foreword, reflecting on the inner struggles of a batsman's life, `Fears and anxieties are a dismissal away from dominating your every thought.'
It is a fascinating book: honest, reflective, intelligent; sometimes humorous, sometimes angry and sometimes - as his team stands on the brink of two trophies - brimming with excitement.
This book is about one man and his constant quest to get the best out of himself, but it is also about much more: posing questions about motivation, `mental toughness' and `success' that are relevant to us all.
Mark Wagh reveals in this book an intelligent, enquiring mind, an originality of thought and a natural ability as a writer.
His book may tell the story of one summer, but its charm and its probing questions will be with us for much longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent insight into the mind of the modern sportsman, 11 April 2009
By Mr. G. H. Rose - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This work is a refreshing deviation from a sports book market awash with dull ghostwritten biographies. Reading Wagh's account of the 2008 domestic season leaves you with a unique insight into the batsmen's mindset and the methods both mental & physical that are employed to constantly better oneself. This book refuses to stampede down the route of being controversial just to sell copies, in fact Wagh's respect for his colleagues capabilities as cricketers, coaches and teammates and his love of just simply playing is refreshingly different from a lot of other sports books I have read. The authors thoughts on how overcome doubt in your ability and the importance of the team ethic are more insightful than what is contained in the mountain of selfhelp and business analysis books out there. Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as similiar works by Jonathan Agnew, Ed Smith & Simon Hughes.
