If you like sports psychology, you'll like The Genius of Athletes. This is a well-written, well-researched book about succeeding in sports. Getting to the top of one's game requires as much work mentally as it does physically!

This book was fascinating! I'm not sure how it has barely any reviews. I feel as though it is totally underrated! These authors have done a ton of research to compile this amazing book by studying athletes and the psychology and mechanisms they use to push through and succeed. There are many great hacks that athletes use that the book identifies and helps the reader utilize in their own life. These methods can be applied to a diverse array of circumstances. This book is not just for athletes, but for anyone who wants to perform better in their lives. Fantastic read!

The Genius of Athletes is a well researched book that takes the mental skills and tools from world class athletes and shows how we can use them to help us improve our everyday lives. The dedication, focus and genius of top athletes have so much that can be learnt from in a psychological sense, and in way we sometimes don't see how much mental work is put in alongside all the physical effort. These skills can help us increase focus, satisfaction and general happiness. The authors show us how to use the skills for reaching our goals and finding fulfilment. It is a clever and inspiring book that would be of use to nearly anyone.

super clever book, had some really great tidbits. Overall I found it a bit typical, but I did enjoy how it was structured and some of the examples were quite interesting. Found it very inspirational and got some good takeaways I'm excited to take forward...
