The brave athlete

by Simon Marshall

Portions of your brain fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen: you get crazy nervous before a race, you choke under pressure, you quit when the going gets tough. Marshall and Paterson help you take control of your brain so you can train harder, race faster, and better enjoy your sport. They provide practical, evidence-based solutions to the most common mental challenges athletes face.
