Ahead of the Game

A Practical Guide for Coaches, Athletes, and Players of All Levels

Ahead of the Game is written for sports coaches, athletes and players of various levels who want to learn some leading edge yet tried and tested techniques and approaches to using your mind more effectively, and helping others to do the same.

More and more people are realizing that, as with all areas of life, your results in sport depend crucially on your ability to use your mind effectively. Certainly many elite sports performers say that the mental aspects of the sport make the difference between being a champion or not. The way you use your mind determines the level of success and fulfilment you gain from sport, whether at professional or recreational level.

Ahead of the Game draws on many of the techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), proven methods to achieve success, and takes you through the techniques and approaches step by step. Full of practical exercises and examples of how these techniques have been used with athletes so that you can adapt the techniques to suit you best.

Endorsement:

“Within the book, Jeremy simplifies the learnings of what, at first glance, are some complex areas through the activities that he presents, the tips that he supplies, and the intriguing personal stories he provides, as to how he has worked with athletes to enable them to make huge leaps in their performance – all of which allow the reader to extract the vital information presented quickly and effectively. I urge anybody who is an athlete wishing to improve their sporting potential, or anybody working within the athlete set-up to read this book and challenge themselves to implement the learnings from it in all aspects of their lives”.
