And it goes beyond theory. It’s also a hands-on workbook that brings mental training into the world of muscle training to produce real results. Easy-to-use exercises and self-tests show you how to assess and develop your psychological strengths, and a thoroughly guided sample workout incorporates mental exercises into your physical workout.

Mental preparation and attitude during training and competition are what separate good athletes from superior athletes. Just as you train your muscles by lifting weights, you can develop mental skills by practicing them diligently and consistently. You can build the body you’ve always wanted when you harness the power of Mind & Muscle.
