The effortless, easy-flowing feeling of playing "in the zone"—it's what every athlete wants, but few know how to achieve it. 
Psyched to Win gives you four keys to entering the zone at will: 
• Developing faith—Learn to trust in your abilities, training, teammates, and coaching, even when you aren't performing well. 
• Improving concentration—Tune out distractions that you can't control, such as crowd noise and the performance of others. 
• Practicing centering techniques—Create feelings of being grounded, calm, relaxed, and receptive. 
• Using self-hypnosis—Stay centered and in control over the changes that interfere with your coordination, timing, and power. 
In Psyched to Win, Robert Nideffer, one of America's premier sport psychologists, presents a training program to help you integrate these psychological skills into your practice routines. And he shows you how to make the important link between psychological skills and improved physical performance.

At the upper levels of performance in situations where competing individuals and teams have all the technical skill and knowledge required to be successful, psychological factors become important determinants of outcome. The ability to control emotions, to communicate effectively and to perform under pressure is what separates winners from losers.
