Description
Is there something holding you back from being at your best in your sport? You might be struggling with nerves and anxiety, confidence, motivation, or maybe facing a setback? Perhaps you have some strategies that work in the short-term, but the effects wear off and you are left in the same place as you were before.
It's time for a new approach. One that challenges you to think differently, moving you towards achieving the things you desire most in sport and in life.
Based on the scientifically proven techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Drop the Struggle takes a radically new look at the mental side of reaching your potential in sport.
Written for athletes, coaches and anyone wanting to achieve more, it turns sports psychology on its head, providing a practical kitbag of ways to succeed. This book will teach you a sustainable way of dealing with difficult thoughts, managing your emotions and harnessing them to help you perform to the best of your ability.
