"The mental side of sport is massive. Before setting off to Australia for the 2003 World Cup I said that the competition would be won "in the head". It isn’t necessarily the best team or the team with the most talented players that wins games, but the team that can "think correctly under pressure"." From the Foreword by Sir Clive Woodward OBE
