Winning At Sport

Science, skill and the new psychology of outstanding performance

Winning at Sport explains how you can rapidly improve your sports performance, whatever your level, by training and competing more effectively. You'll no longer waste time practising things that have little or no effect; instead, you'll replace them with methods that science has shown to work. This book will correct the damaging errors you probably make when you practise and compete. You'll learn what you're doing wrong and how you can fix it. You'll improve in two ways. First, you'll reach the highest performance level you're capable of - what your talent allows. Second, you'll learn to bring out your best performance under competitive pressure. Using evidence from more than 700 research studies, Professor Chris Riddoch applies the science of high performance to a practical performance-improvement programme for players of all levels. A programme based on simplicity. Be the best player you can be!
