Forget marginal gains, Dr. Simon Marshall understands the most important part of performance: the athlete's mind. His expertise is an invaluable resource to help athletes master theirs., At the Leeds Triathlon Centre, we pay as much attention to psychology as we do to physiology. Few things are simple in sport but in The Brave Athlete , Simon and Lesley tackle the complexities of getting the best from yourself in a clear and engaging way., I have admired Dr. Simon Marshall's talent as a scientist and a communicator for more than two decades. In The Brave Athlete, he brings this talent to the fore as he translates psychological science into meaningful strategies to help athletes become more confident, motivated, and calm., Simon and Lesley get to the heart of what it takes to be a brave athlete. It's about creating a mindset that goes to bat for you rather than against you. The Brave Athlete is an invaluable guide to help you sort your head out. Plus it's funny. Really bloody funny., Marshall and Paterson, in some kind of post-Western duo, limn their own version of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Only the guns and whiskey are replaced with doctoral degrees and world titles. In The Brave Athlete they challenge the reader to draw swords on the psychic battlefields of sport but do so with the gift of Continental mirth and compassion., Simon and Lesley bring years of training at the world-class level, in multiple sports, together with years of working in academiaall in the real world., The Brave Athlete will take you deep inside yourself so that you can identify what you thought were your limits and, with Simon and Lesley's help, smash them to smithereens., Lesley Paterson is one of the most mentally tough professional athletes I know, and Simon Marshall knows why. Their special sauce has finally been bottled and the strategies described in The Brave Athlete promise to help athletes of all abilities become dirty fast., My training background and philosophy evolved under the coaching of Lesley and the mental slapping of Simon.

Synopsis
The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. A practical, step-by-step guide to 25 common problems -- not just another book on visualization and positive self-talk. Dynamic husband-and-wife team offer an ideal mix of coach and athlete experience. Each author can reach different markets: Paterson is well-known and popular in triathlon. Dr. Marshall works with an elite American cycling team., The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain--you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They 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, you make dumb mistakes, you worry about how you look. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? What if you could feel confident, suffer like a hero, and handle any stress? You can. The Brave Athlete from Dr. Simon Marshall and Lesley Paterson will help you take control of your brain so you can train harder, race faster, and better enjoy your sport. Dr. Marshall is a sport psychology expert who trains the brains of elite professional athletes. Paterson is a three-time world champion triathlete and coach. Together, they offer this innovative, brain training guide that is the first to draw from both clinical science and real-world experience with athletes. That means you won't find outdated "positive self-talk" or visualization gimmicks here. No, the set of cutting-edge mental skills revealed in The Brave Athlete actually work because they challenge the source of the thoughts and feelings you don't want. The Brave Athlete is packed with practical, evidence-based solutions to the most common mental challenges athletes face. Which of these sound like you? - Why do I have thoughts and feelings I don't want? - I wish I felt more like an athlete. - I don't think I can. - I don't achieve my goals. - Other athletes seem tougher, happier, and more badass than me. - I feel fat. - I don't cope well with injury. - People are worried about how much I exercise. - I don't like leaving my comfort zone. - When the going gets tough, the tough leave me behind. - I need to harden the f*ck up. - I keep screwing up. - I don't handle pressure well. With The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion , you can solve these problems to become mentally strong and make your brain your most powerful asset., The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races.
