Sports participation—from the recreational to the collegiate Division I level—is at an all-time high. While the caliber of their game may differ, athletes at every level have one thing in common: they want to excel. In The Champion's Mind, sports psychologist Jim Afremow, PhD, LPC, now offers the same advice he uses with Olympians, Heisman Trophy winners, and professional athletes, including tips and techniques based on high-performance psychology research, such as how to get in a "zone," thrive on a team, and stay humble; how to progress within a sport and sustain excellence long-term, and customizable pre-performance routines to hit full power when the gun goes off or the puck is dropped.


The Champion's Mind distills actionable advice into clear and concise steps for athletes looking to find confidence, concentration, and mental preparedness—the mental edge that sets champions apart.

      This instructional audiobook, the sports psychologist's first, offers familiar advice on how disciplined practice, pre-performance routines, managing expectations, and a good team perspective impact what we get from ourselves when it counts. Narrator Eric Summerer's pleasing tone and straightforward clarity contribute to a delivery that is without fussiness, but his performance does little to help the inspirational energy and wisdom the author tries to communicate. It's a good narration, but one that focuses on vocal mechanics at the expense of color and personality. At least in audio format, the slurry of directives and principles comes across in scattershot fashion, rather than being organized around a limited number of powerful, memorable ideas.
