Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You're in the pursuit of excellence and success as a swimmer. At the end of the day, it's not physical talent, physical skill, or physical ability that's going to make the difference. What makes the difference is mindset, mentality, and attitude. What separates good swimmers from great swimmers is the mental side of the sport. This book is designed to help swimmers such as yourself to develop the mental strength and emotional resilience necessary to think strong, feel confident, swim fast, and be your best. To do that, The Swimmer's Mind contains 320 pages of the same strategies and methodologies I use when working with my individual clients and NCAA D1 Nationally-Ranked Swim Programs which have produced proven results and success at the Age-Group, National, NCAA, and International level. Readers will learn how to master the core aspects of the mental side of swimming such as how to be confident, how to eliminate nerves, how to create a strong racing mindset, and much, much more. If you're only focused on the physical side of the sport and not currently working to improve your mind for swimming, then you're neglecting the most important tool you have as a swimmer.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award, Autobiography Swimming Studies is a brilliantly original, meditative memoir that explores the worlds of competitive and recreational swimming. From her training for the Olympic trials as a teenager to enjoying pools and beaches around the world as an adult, Leanne Shapton offers a fascinating glimpse into the private, often solitary, realm of swimming. Her spare and elegant writing reveals an intimate narrative of suburban adolescence, spent underwater in a discipline that continues to inspire Shapton’s work as an artist and author. Her illustrations throughout the book offer an intuitive perspective on the landscapes and imagery of the sport. Shapton’s emphasis is on the smaller moments of athletic pursuit rather than its triumphs. For the accomplished athlete, aspiring amateur, or habitual practicer, this remarkable work of written and visual sketches propels the reader through a beautifully personal and universally appealing exercise in reflection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Gold Medal Mental Toughness program! I am so excited that you have decided to work on your mental game in your sport. Hopefully, you already know that there are three very important areas in your sport for overall success: physical training, technical training (attention to how efficiently you perform), and mental training (how confident and mentally prepared you are in your mind). I have spent many years helping people with their mental game in different areas of their lives. It is very exciting to see the amazing changes they can make. The self directed version of the success guide will enable you to make the changes that you want and need in order to better enjoy your overall experience. The 1st edition of the success guide was designed to be used by my clients in conjunction with their sessions and audios. This edition has been redesigned to enable any swimmer to benefit from reading and applying the techniques, regardless of whether you have a mental coach. All you need is an optimistic and willing attitude that enables you to try something new. Read the guide carefully, have an open mind, and do each of the exercises consistently. You will begin to see changes in your mental toughness and progress in your sport as a result of your mental training. Helping competitive swimmers enhance their mental toughness and improve their performances has been one of the greatest passions of my life. I have worked with athletes of all ages from age group swimmers to Olympians and professionals. Translating how I help athletes into a self- directed book was challenging. However, this guide will help you create mental toughness and enhance your performance. While the guide is available as a standalone product, it is my belief that in order for you to obtain maximum benefit you may wish to use some of the additional resources contained in the book. By purchasing this book you are indicating that you are ready to join the elite swimmers who understand that mental toughness training is just as important as physical and technical training. Read on and enjoy great swimming.

Book excerpt: THE ONLY SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY WORKBOOK THAT'S EXCLUSIVELY DESIGNED FOR SWIMMERS TO BUILD MENTAL TOUGHNESS AND BOOST THEIR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE Swimmers hear it all the time... "Swimming is 90% Mental, and 10% Physical" "It's All in Your Head" "The Only One that Can Stop You is You" "You have to be Mentally Tough!" But what exactly do those sayings mean??? Without something concrete, it's difficult for players to understand what it specifically takes to have a mental approach primed for success. And rather than have a debate with someone who knows nothing about mental training or sports psychology... or read about theories and mental hacks that may or may not work off some random website...why not use a detailed, interactive, and engaging workbook that shows and teaches athletes how specific Sports Psychology concepts directly impact their performance in the swimming pool? That's exactly what you've found here! Through 10 Dynamic Exercises... we take athlete's on a journey through the Most debilitating Mental and Emotional Obstacles faced by the Vast Majority of Competitors including: -Decreased Levels in Motivation -Lack of Goal-Setting Capability -Suppressing Unwanted Thoughts -An Inability to get "In a Zone" -Experiencing Overwhelming Pre-Match Jitters, Nerves, and Anxiety -Overcoming Serious and Debilitating Injuries -Zero Formal Education of Necessary Mental Skills such as Mental Imagery and Self-Talk -Swimming without Confidence -Not Being Able to Focus when it Matters Most When Athletes Suffer and become Victim to one or multiple issues mentioned above...it becomes Incredibly Difficult for them to maintain a positive frame of mind not only in sports but in life in general. And unfortunately in society today all athletes are under the spot light as they are judged by many of their friends, family, and peers by the level of success they have in the pool, which makes it absolutely crucial for athletes to be mentally tough and resilient. Thus, after completing our workbook athletes will undoubtedly be equipped with the Mental Tools to: 1. Develop Supreme Confidence in their Skills and Abilities to Flourish 2. Build Mental Toughness and Resilience to Overcome Obstacles 3. Learn to Handle Intense Pressure and Paralyzing Adversity 4. Conquer their Crippling Fears and Severe Anxiety 5. Be Mentally Ready to Compete and Dominate their Competition 6. Come Back from Injury Better and Stronger than Before 7. Be Overflowing with Motivation and Surpass their Athletic Goals Whether you're a male or female athlete looking for ways to improve your skills and ability (middle school, high school, or collegiate skill level)...A coach or trainer in search of avenues to improve your teams performance...or a parent trying to help your son or daughter accomplish their goals and dreams...THIS IS THE WORKBOOK YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR! Choking Under Pressure During Crucial Moments of a Competition, Sitting on the Sidelines Meet after Meet despite All your Hard Work and Effort, Becoming accustomed to Losing Over and Over, not Stepping Up when the team Needs it Most, and being Unable to see any Progress toward Improving and Reaching Success can be EXTEMELY PAINFUL, DISAPPOINTING, and DISCOURAGING. This STOPS TODAY! Fulfill your Potential, and Finally Perform Great the way you've Always Envisioned. Available in Kindle and Paperback Editions
