Sports Psychology Books
 

I posted this in the Psychology forum but I might get a better response here. I heard David Singer in an interview say he reads sports psychology books to prepare for tournaments. Does anyone have any recommended books on this topic? Thanks.

Possibly this or this.

I recently saw Jim Fannin speak live and was so impressed by him that I bought his book. He is a performance coach for many top tier professional athletes - biggest client is probably Alex Rodriguez.
His book is called 'SCORE' which is an acronym for his performance system:
Jim Fannin - SCORE

Anyway, the book is very simple to read and understand and his principles can be used immediately.

You don't need a book!

Just visualize pocket aces.

"Inner Tennis", "Inner Skiing", "Inner Golf" all by Timothy Gallwey pick the one that most interests you and apply the concepts to poker, life, anything. The main underlying concept is getting in touch with and trusting your instincts.

Thanks, I'll definately be checking out Inner Tennis and SCORE. Any others?
