A Review of Mind Gym: Revisiting a Sports Management Classic
Journal Title: Sports and Exercise Medicine – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Every sports fan remembers watching a game where one team that clearly dominated another in skill and power and then, magically, quickly, unexpectedly the other team won. Expert commentators and fans alike are left scratching their heads, “what happened?” Sports psychologists have the answer. Sports psychologists emphasize that being successful in sports is not only about the physical game on the field but also the inner game of psychology. In sports management classic, Mind Gym, Gary Mack1 discusses mastering the inner game. Mack1 uses his experience with top athletes and research on the psychological factors of success to teach the reader what it takes for athletes to master themselves and make the most of their physical skills so that they can achieve their potential on the field of their choice.
