Athletes train countless hours to become physically skilled. Why don't we devote the same effort to becoming psychologically skilled? In this groundbreaking book, sport psychologist Dr. Douglas Jowdy shares his philosophy about sport and his methods to become psychologically skilled. The Gold Medal Mind challenges conventional wisdom in sport and describes how current values/beliefs in athletic culture undermine athletic performance. The author clearly explains that an athlete is required to have “mental reps,” to achieve a gold medal mind. To score “psychological victories” the reader will learn how to focus during on and off the field to develop “psychological muscle memory.” Seventy percent of the book is dedicated to describing the methods to become psychologically skilled. The gold medal mind is truly being able to use one’s heart and tapping into one’s passion. The author believes the most powerful performance-enhancing drug is one’s heart. The reader will learn how the development of a gold medal mind applies to the game of life. The author believes there is no greater place to learn about oneself and grow as a person than through sport. The journey of the gold medal mind is as much about personal development as it is athletic. Athletes at all skill levels, coaches, and parents of athletes will find inspiration and practical advise based on Dr. Jowdy's 35 years of experience working in the field of sport psychology. Whether your goal is to win a championship, break a personal record, or simply have more fun playing your sport—expect to surprise yourself.The book “tees up” the reader to take their psychological training to the next level with the workbook. Then use the audio recordings (available through Dr. Jowdy’s website) for the visualization and concentration training exercises to deepen your practice in order to develop psychological muscle memory. The short story, The Horse and the Man (also available on Amazon) is a metaphor for the book. The horse represents the gold medal mind, and the man, the conventional modus operandi in athletics.
