I just received this email regarding my admiration of athletes who can remain stable under pressure:
“Please give me a list of books of people who are athletes that have been successful because of their ability to take control over their emotions. I have a difficult time with this and especially the approval and non-approval comments and how affected I am about how my performance appears to others. It is all about the need for approval. Thanks a lot for any info in this area. A fellow peer.”
I have three books I highly recommend. They get quite technical in terms of the sports they cover, but the psychological content is always interesting!
How I Play the Game by Tiger Woods
A Champion’s Mind by Pete Sampras
Mind Gym by Gary Mac
My book Get it Done When You’re Depressed has a strategy called Think Like an Athlete. This is a great book for people who who want to move forward when bipolar only wants to pull them backwards!
Athletes are able to do their job even when their minds are in pain. They can separate themselves and perform when they have to. I want to do the same.
Thanks for writing!
Julie
