I’ve been on a real health kick this past month, trying to keep myself motivated to train for a half marathon in the Fall (moving from 5k to 10k and onwards…that’s the plan) so when a friend recommended I read this book, I was definitely intrigued. And boy am I glad I picked this book up! What’s awesome about "Sport's Psychology" is how Mr Bell really delves into the psychology of motivation in regards to setting fitness goals and keeping them! The author breaks down the information clearly, without a lot of mumbo-jumbo, discussing not only how to increase confidence and also offering specific advice on how to set realistic goals that you will keep in order to improve your performance. Also, really liked the visualization techniques! I’ve been able to use the techniques in this book to plot out a plan to improve my running distance and speed, and so far it’s going great! Lovely book, and applicable to many aspects of your life even outside the sports arena!
