Publisher's Synopsis
An inspiring, practical guide to overcoming loss and injury, and achieving greatness, on and off the field—now in paperback. Leading sports psychologist Jim Afremow, author of The Champion's Mind, knows what makes good athletes great--especially when they come back to win after facing devastating injuries, tough obstacles, or seemingly insurmountable odds. In The Champion's Comeback, he offers winning strategies for athletes of any skill level or age to get mentally psyched for competition, quickly rebound after a loss, and overcome injuries (and the fear of re-injury). In the same clear, engaging language as his previous book, Afremow explores the psychology of commitment and shows readers how to develop the core confidence of repeat champions. Incorporating direct feedback from numerous readers of The Champion's Mind about what specific aspects of the mental game they were most eager to learn about, and featuring unique tips and advice, including guided imagery scripts, easy-to-follow mental training exercises, and motivating stories of famous "comeback" athletes, this is the ultimate athlete's handbook, encouraging readers not only to stay in the game, but to achieve greatness, no matter what.
