The Mental Game of Basketball Joe K Carpenter

The Mental Game of Basketball gives you the same mental conditioning system that Peak Performance Coach Brian Cain uses to train some of the top basketball coaches, players and programs on playing the game one play at a time. Every play in basketball has a life and history of its own. In most games there will only be a handful of plays that determine the outcome of that game. As a coach or player, you never know what play will be the one that makes the big difference, so you have to treat them all as if they are going to be that big play. The free throw made in the first quarter is just as important as the buzzer beater shot at the end of the game. All four quarters equal the outcome of the game, not just the final basket made or missed shot. Playing the game of basketball one play at a time is what the mental game is all about. Giving yourself the best chance for success on this play in turn gives you the best chance for success on the scoreboard at the end of the game. This book is an extensive collection of Cain's experiences working as a mental conditioning coach in the game of basketball and is a body of work that, when put into action, will unlock your potential and take your game to the next level.
