Review
"In this terrific book Roy Palmer succeeds where many have failed: namely to talk about 'the zone' coherently, elegantly and best of all practically." Malcom Balk, author of Master The Art of Running "This book will be a very useful addition to the tool kit of any coach or performer." Greg Chappell MBE, Former Australian Cricket Captain and current Indian National Cricket Coach

Product Description
No doubt you've experienced times in your sport when you feel 'in the moment' or 'in the Zone'. Achieving peak performance seems easy. But when we lose that state we once again find ourselves putting in a lot of effort for little gain. This book shows us how we can rediscover the elusive Zone whenever we choose - by using our mind as well as our body. We build up bad habits based on what feels 'right' to us, even if we're not consciously aware of it. But it is these habits that hold us back and lead to inconsistent performance and repetitive injury. By pausing to notice what we're doing, before we do it, we can enter the Zone at will, achieving previously unattainable levels of performance. Roy Palmer takes us into the unknown, past what has always felt comfortable for us. He helps us define the Zone, examines what stops us reaching it and describes techniques for turning things around when they go 'wrong'. He then translates the latest scientific research into practical and easy steps for overcoming poor performance, frustration and disillusionment. Sharing his first-hand experiences, he shows how we can leave injury behind for good, develop greater self-awareness and focus, and apply the same techniques in many other areas of our lives, too. How to break through to new levels of fitness and performance - by doing less! "In this terrific book Roy Palmer succeeds where many have failed: namely to talk about 'the zone' coherently, elegantly and best of all practically."

5.0 out of 5 stars Follow this practical journey for the most remarkable results, 26 Nov 2006
By Angela Sherman (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The power in this book is that it helps you see what you're doing that's holding you back - and then frees you to achieve far greater results. As the title suggests, it not only looks at your physical performance but at what's going on in your mind. Roy Palmer helps you take a big leap forward, not by being better at what you already do, but by noticing what it is you could do differently. It's powerful stuff! It helps you in sport and fitness, and also in many other areas of life and work. The mind techniques that Roy explores will even help you achieve more focus when you're sitting at your desk, and show you how to take a better approach to ANY task that might seem overwhelming. This book will keep you `in the moment' and help you achieve more than you ever thought possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable to anyone in sport, 23 Nov 2006
By W. Goodman (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Here is a book that is invaluable for anyone looking to improve their sporting performance! Its holistic and deeply insightful content is also well worth the perusal of anyone interested in health, self-improvement or alternative philosophies.

I have rowed competitively and no longer suffer neck pain thanks to the teachings of this author. I cannot imagine anyone failing to get something from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very different approach to training!, 11 Nov 2006
By B. Palmer "Sporty Gal" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book as a friend recommended it to me but I found it fascinating. I have been involved in sport for many years now and this book talks about things I have never seen in print before. It helped to explain why my performances (I'm a keen runner and have been a competitive swimmer in the past) can differ from one day to the next for no obvious reason. It talks about how attitude can effect the body and vice versa but does it in a very practical way that is easy to follow. I have started to apply his techniques to my sport and it has already changed something (although I find it difficult to explain exactly what!) Some how I feel lighter and my movement has changed. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about their sport as it has added something new to my training and after 20 years in sport that is some achievement. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because I thought the photographs could have been bigger and there could have been more of them.
