The Mental Toughness Guide to Athletic Success

By: Dr. Chris Stankovich | @DrStankovich | Nov 17, 2012

No Comments

I’m excited to announce my latest book, The Mental Toughness Guide to Athletic Success available now through Apple.  The book is a fun and easy way to learn about mental toughness, which in turn helps athletes reach their full athletic potential.

Building upon theories and applications from the field of sport psychology, the book is filled with easy-to-understand tips and strategies, as well as short videos to help further elaborate on each skill. Athletes will learn about focus, motivation, goal setting, and resiliency skills, along with specific mental toughness skills like imagery, cue word utilization, and positive self-talk.

The book is a great resource for all athletes, and coupled with the Sport Performance Assessment apps athletes now have everything they need to improve their mental toughness — available now for for immediate download on the iphone or ipad.  And the best part?  At only $7.99 it’s a very affordable teaching tool!
