Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Bob Rotella, America's preeminent sports psychologist, a groundbreaking guide to success in all aspects of life - not just sports - from business to relationships to personal challenges of every variety.

Acclaimed sports psychologist Bob Rotella has advised everyone from professional golfers to NBA superstars to business executives on how to flourish under pressure and overcome challenges. Now, for the first time, he's distilled his decades of in-depth research and practical experience into a potential-unlocking guide for everyone.

This exciting audiobook is not a collection of Rotella's theories; it consists of performance principles that have proven themselves in countless competitive situations, in arenas from which only the strongest minds emerge triumphant. It's a book full of insights that you can learn and use the next morning - in the office, the classroom, or wherever your quest takes you - told not in abstractions, but through case studies and stories drawn from Rotella's years teaching sports psychology, counseling athletes, and consulting for Fortune 500 companies. It explores how to keep the mind from holding you back, whatever your physical gifts or other talents. It's about how to make a commitment, how to persevere, how to deal with failure - and how to train your mind to create a self-image that promotes confidence and accomplishment.

Any successful life starts with how you see yourself. And with these pearls of wisdom from the nation's preeminent sports psychologist, you can learn to achieve the success of your dreams.

A good purchase.

I listen to a lot of sports psychology books during my commute. I am training for extreme distance triathlons. This book did heavily focus on golf. It did, however, touch on other sports. Either way, the concepts in this book will work for any sport, or any athlete. It was a great purchase and the narrator/author did an exceptional job narrating.

Absolutely loved it !

I can't say enough about this book and the author. Life changing would probably sum it up! Just finished it and I'm getting ready to listen from the beginning again!! I will be referring to this book over and over again in my life. I cannot wait to tell the world about it!!!

recommended for anyone

sports related or not this book carries a lot of similarities to life and provides the mindset to over come any obstacle. awesome.

Everyone should read this!

Absolutely incredible book about mindset. I can’t say enough good things about this. I will keep this in my rotation of book I listen to often which is roughly 5/200+ titles I own.

Great Book

I love that the book is read by the author. I admire this author as a sports psychologist and as a person; he loves the Lord and America and offers great advice.

Very helpful even if you aren’t a golfer

There is much information here for anyone seeking to win at their endeavor. It doesn’t even have to be in sports. I will be re-reading this when I need inspiration to stay on track and maintain a focused purposeful mindset.

Good nuggets but long winded.

I think this could have been condensed to a 20 to 30 page synopsis. While I liked the book, a lot of the examples lasted too long.

Must listen for aspiring leaders and champs

One of the best narrations with so much practical advice packed in one book. A must listen for aspiring golfers and anyone wanting more from their life.

Very good book

I liked very much, I am going to recommend it to family and friends. I already bought a copy for my teenager son.

Wow!

An incredible understanding for Thinking in both sports and life. Expands the focus of mindset and attitude to transcend every day living, any occupation, and high pressure performers.

Just Brilliant!

Practical, impactful, just plain great!

I've already recommended this to everyone I can!

Looking forward to listening to it again.

Disappointing

I got very bored with this book. Some excellent points and perspectives but far too long and lots of repetition. Half as long would have been much better and the idea that everyone is either an exceptional person or an average person who ‘ultimately leads a dull life’ is just offensive nonsense.

Thinking and success through my passion - golf!

great book, a topic dear to my passion and work. so many parallels with what we do for business at Thinking Focus. Thanks Bob!

Useful for golf and life

As with all Dr Bobs books, there is fantastic information in "How Champions think"

Dr Bob has a relaxed style of reading and gets his message across in an unhurried manner.

Great book for golfers, business or sport

Would you consider the audio edition of How Champions Think to be better than the print version?

Listene to this book pretty much all the way through in a couple of sittings and loved it. Clear delivery backed up by evidence and inside stories from the people Dr Bob works with makes this a clear and easy listen that can be put into practice.

I have been back and listened again a couple of times since and I keep picking up new areas to work on.

What did you like best about this story?

The clear delivery and easy to follow ideas

What does Bob Rotella bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His own knowledge and background

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

fantasic book

will give you a understanding of how to be be the best at what you do and what steps you need to take to become a champion.

Excellent

How Champions Think, is an excellent audible book, well narrated by Dr Bob, share with friends ideal gift

Another great listen

Another great listen from Bob Rottella on some of the mental approaches to playing better golf.

Brings things back into perspective

Great book. Made me realise that there is a lot to learn but also to keep things simple.

Great book! A must read for athletes!

Fastest book I went through! It is a bit golf oriented at times but content is so excellent that it doesn't matter! Bought the book for a teammate and I will listen to it again very soon!
