Josephine Perry is a psychologist whose work sits in sport and high performance, and this book sets out the ten mental traits she finds behind sustained achievement.
Each pillar gets its own chapter, combining research findings with examples drawn from athletes and other performers, followed by practical steps a reader can apply to study, work or training. Confidence, resilience, purpose and optimism are treated as habits that can be built rather than as fixed personality traits.
Highlights of this edition:
• Ten psychological traits examined one chapter at a time
• Research from performance psychology paired with real examples
• Exercises aimed at building confidence and resilience over time
• Relevant to sport, study, work and personal goals alike
Suited to athletes, coaches, students and professionals interested in performance psychology, available in English at Boipoka.
