A Champion’s Mindset: 15 Mental Conditioning Steps to Becoming a Champion Athlete™

This book is written for athletes, coaches and parents as well as the sports fan who is interested in understanding the underlying psychology that makes a champion athlete.

About the book

As a Sport Psychologist for over thirty years, working with Olympians, professional and nationally ranked junior athletes, the book will:

  • Reveal the steps of top elite athletes and the mental secrets that enable them to succeed when others fail.
  • Provide personal accounts and stories illustrating each step.
  • Discuss the reasons athletes struggle and the insights to overcome these challenges.
  • Review the personality characteristics of successful, elite professional and Olympic athletes.

“When dealing with a challenge, research supports that a person’s mental outlook is critical to success. For example, in my law enforcement training, there was emphasis on what should be an LEO’s mental (i.e., “warrior’s”) mindset. A long-time friend and colleague, Harold Shinitzky, PsyD, has developed a comparable and unique approach to athletic actions. His recent (paperback) book, “A Champion’s Mindset,” posits “15 Mental Conditioning Steps to Becoming a Champion Athlete.” Practical information provides guidance and cultivates motivation for success in life in general and athletics in particularly.”
