IRJE #2 The Champions Mind

The Champions Mind is a book made by JIM AFREMOW who is a high performance consultant. he is the author of mutable best selling books on sports psychology and leadership with one of those books being The champions mind. The book is about how to develop confidence, concentration and mental preparedness (the elusive edge that sets a champion away from the rest.) In the book he is talks about how to improve focus and he says a quote that was said by Michel Phelps, history’s most decorated Olympian with 22 medal with 18 of those medal being gold. This quote is about how you should stay focused when you are playing sports anywhere.

when I am focused, there is not a signal thing, person, anything that can stand in my way of my doing something. There is not. If I want something bad enough, I feel I’m going to get there. (p.44)

what he means is that when you are playing sports you have to stay focused and Wille you are focused there is nothing that can stop you from what you are trying to achieve or get. you also have to believe and know that you are going to achieve it because if you are just trying to achieve a goal and you don’t know if you are going to achieve it you wont get it you have to know and believe that you are going to get to that goal. That is how great athletes think train and thrive.
