I've gotten to the point where I'm realizing the mental side of my racing is probably holding me back more than my physical fitness. Anyone know about some good sports psychology books to look into?
I'm hoping to find books written for "elite" athletes I guess, not just something that tells me to smile when I'm tired and remember to have fun.
I would check out Run: The mind-body method of running by feel by Matt Fitzgerald.
It's not a sports psychology book per say but it will definitely boost your mental game.
Elite Minds: Creating the Competitive Advantage by Dr. Stan Beecham
Good book a fire science teacher gave me. Currently passing it around to some teamates
"The Mental Edge" by Kenneth Baum
Slightly dated (given the name-dropped athletes), but advice still holds. I appreciate the LetsRun poster who recommended it about 6 years ago.
