Goes beyond conditioning and X’s and O’s to reveal an overlooked yet crucial part of playing sound soccer—the mental game. The book introduces numerous concepts, including mental mechanics, performance barriers, expanding player capacities, mechanical breakdowns, automaticity of performing, and mental-skills training strategies. Dr. Mike Voight takes the most current research in sport science, sport psychology, motor development, and exercise physiology, and distills it into easy-to-understand and apply language that can be used by coaches at any age and skill level.
