About this title

Review:

""""One of the few books on sport psychology that has ever impressed us. Written simply but absorbingly, disdaining cant and high-blown technical terms, the author zeros right in . . . Martens has a great sense of what is important and what is real, plus the ability to communicate it.""" Scholastic Coach """Contains great information, is thought provoking and should be part of every coach's library so he/she may better understand the psychological side of sport.""" Journal of Applied Research in Coaching & Athletic "
