Zone Mind, Zone Body

No doubt you've experienced times in your sport when you feel 'in the moment' or 'in the Zone'. Achieving peak performance seems easy. But when we lose that state we once again find ourselves putting in a lot of effort for little gain. This book shows us how we can rediscover the elusive Zone whenever we choose - by using our mind as well as our body. We build up bad habits based on what feels 'right' to us, even if we're not consciously aware of it. But it is these habits that hold us back and lead to inconsistent performance and repetitive injury. By pausing to notice what we're doing, before we do it, we can enter the Zone at will, achieving previously unattainable levels of performance. Roy Palmer takes us into the unknown, past what has always felt comfortable for us. He helps us define the Zone, examines what stops us reaching it and describes techniques for turning things around when they go 'wrong'. He then translates the latest scientific research into practical and easy steps for overcoming poor performance, frustration and disillusionment. Sharing his first-hand experiences, he shows how we can leave injury behind for good, develop greater self-awareness and focus, and apply the same techniques in many other areas of our lives, too. How to break through to new levels of fitness and performance - by doing less! "In this terrific book Roy Palmer succeeds where many have failed: namely to talk about 'the zone' coherently, elegantly and best of all practically." Malcom Balk, author of Master The Art of Running "This book will be a very useful addition to the tool kit of any coach or performer."
