Optimal Sports Performance

Optimal performance in sport occurs when athletes can focus their attention on relevant information, processes, and behaviors; while, at the same time, blocking out distracting or irrelevant cues. But how do you focus attention and block out distracting cues?
In Optimal Sports Performance, author Bradford Strand lays out a model for helping athletes of all ages understand and learn how to reach optimal performance. Throughout the book, he uses Action Triggers to assist you in better understanding the challenges of your sport and have you complete Preloaded Responses which help eliminate decision paralysis in challenging situations. Identifying Preloaded Responses frees up mental bandwidth and makes your response reflexive and automatic allowing you to focus on other aspects of a game or contest. Optimal Sports Performance will provide you with the tools to practice smarter, think faster, and play better!
