Living in the Sweet Spot: Preparing for Performance in Sport and Life

Living in the Sweet Spot: Preparing for Performance in Sport and Life inspires readers to prepare for life's big performances. The author integrates the principles of positive psychology and sport psychology, relating techniques to strengthen daily fulfillment to get the most out of the experience when those big moments take place. The issues performers face when under pressure come to life through examples from top athletes, musicians, and the author's experiences as an Olympian and America's Cup sailor. Every chapter contains practical, effective, reflective exercises that help readers rise to the challenge of performing their best when it counts. "What I learned in this book is that if you focus on the positives and what actually brings you joy, it will change your perspective, and maybe most importantly, give you more energy. Everyone, not just athletes, can benefit from reading Living in the Sweet Spot -we can learn how to accept ourselves, our endeavors, our sport, or our profession." - from the foreword by Phil Simms, Super Bowl XXI MVP
