Why do sports captivate people? They allow us to watch human beings achieve peak performance, but, beyond physical strength and skill, what's really impressive is an athlete's mental prowess -- their will to succeed, engagement with their environment, and self-confidence. In Life as Sport, sport psychologist Dr. Jonathan Fader shares the skills that he teaches professional athletes--to enhance motivation, set productive goals, sharpen routines, manage stress, and clarify thought processes--and applies them to real-world situations. Dr. Fader's book is the product of thousands of hours of conversations with athletes from various teams and sports: power forwards, tennis phenoms, power-hitting outfielders, and battle-scarred linebackers, as well as hedge-fund managers, entrepreneurs, A-list actors, and dozens of other elite achievers in sports, business, and performing arts. It offers a compendium of stories, theories, and techniques that have been helpful to players, coaches, and executives in professional sports. What emerges is more than just a set of techniques, but a life philosophy that anyone can live by: an internal code to help translate our talent and drive toward the highest plateaus of performance. Dr. Fader designs his strategies to be studied, learned, practiced, and improved. He offers his readers the same exercises that he uses in every session with a professional athlete. These exercises help you to get truly engaged, whether you are designing a new business plan, working to inspire a team or individual, or even falling in love. This is what it means to truly live life as sport--to approach it with the same immediacy, wonder, and engagement that athletes feel at their peak during a game. Life as Sport helps you to pursue your own goals with an enriched intensity -- not only because it creates new potential, but also because it helps you unlock what was always there to begin with.

What is life really like for the elite athlete? How does the experience of being a professional sports person differ from the popular perceptions of fans, journalists or academics? Why might elite sports people experience mental health difficulties away from the public gaze? In the first book-length study of its kind, Kitrina Douglas and David Carless present the life stories of real elite athletes alongside careful analysis and interpretation of those stories in order to better understand the experience of living in sport. Drawing on psychology, sociology, counselling, psychotherapy and narrative theory, and on narrative research in sports as diverse as golf, track and field athletics, judo and hockey, they explore the ways in which the culture of sport interacts with the mental health, development, identity and life trajectories of elite and professional sports people in highly pressurised and sometimes unhealthy environments. By casting light on a previously under-researched aspect of sport, the book makes a call for strategies to be put in place to minimise difficulties or distress for athletes, for support to be tailored across the different life phases, and highlights the potential benefits in terms of athlete well-being and improved performance. The book also considers how these important issues relate to broader cultural and social factors, and therefore represents important reading for any student or professional with an interest in sport psychology, coaching, sport sociology, youth sport, counselling, or exercise and mental health.

What's the secret of a great comeback? And how do we boost our mental fitness to succeed in sport and life? The Comeback Quotient provides inspiration and practical advice on building mental endurance and physical stamina. When bestselling sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald went through a coronavirus-George Floyd double whammy, he realized that nobody can escape setbacks in life so we all need to be able to pull off a comeback. In training for his first triathlon since 2009 and overcoming chronic injury, Matt Fitzgerald puts his ultrarealist mental fitness training to the test. In The Comeback Quotient, Matt Fitzgerald examines the science and stories behind some of the most astonishing sporting comebacks to uncover a new blueprint to survive and thrive. Why are some athletes able to overcome overwhelming odds and rebound stronger than ever? And can we unlock the secret of their success? Matt Fitzgerald identifies these mega-achievers of astounding athletic comebacks as ‘ultrarealists’, men and women who succeed where others fail by fully accepting, embracing, and addressing the reality of their situations. From triathletes like Mirinda Carfrae to ultrarunners like Rob Krar to rowers, skiers, cyclists and runners all over the world, Fitzgerald delves into stories that are not just compelling but constructive, laying out the steps anyone can take to bounce back from their own setbacks in sport and in life. In the tradition of his best-selling How Bad Do You Want It?, The Comeback Quotient combines gripping sports stories with cutting-edge science. Fitzgerald's insight will change forever how you perceive the challenges you face, giving you the inspiration and the tools to make the next great comeback you witness your own. "When the worst has happened, the best is next. The Comeback Quotient by Matt Fitzgerald provides elite-tested mental strategies for loving the comeback more than hating the setback." --Jim Afremow, author of The Champion's Mind "Matt Fitzgerald has a winner in The Comeback Quotient. You will be on the edge of your seat as he tells the inspiring comeback stories from some of the most interesting individuals on the face of the earth, realizing by the end that along the way you have been given a blueprint to orchestrate a few comebacks of your own." --Ben Rosario, Head Coach, HOKA ONE ONE NAZ Elite

How to Build a Sport or Life Dynasty By: Norbert A. Baschnagel “How to Build a Sport or Life Dynasty is a must read book, not only for those who are currently coaching and those who aspire to coach, but also for people who are seeking to live meaningful and productive lives.” “Coach Baschnagel gives a very detailed and successful plan on how to excel as a coach and how to create a sports dynasty. This plan is based on his expertise, knowledge, and life experience. It was this plan that enabled him to create a Sports Dynasty for the Women’s Varsity Tennis Team at Clarion University. In his last four years of coaching the team, a record of 57 wins and only 1 loss was compiled. This book can help any coach achieve greater success. In this book Coach Baschnagel is sharing “The tricks of the trade” with his readers.” “He also shares the qualities that are needed for a person, not only to be successful in life, but also to be significant. If a person wants to have a higher and more satisfying life, this book is a must. As the author has excelled in his personal life, coaching, and in the community, he has brought that same excellence in this book.” ~Fr. Sam Bungo, St. Charles Church, New Bethlehem, PA “The book exemplifies how to develop and build a sports or life dynasty and is truly how you live your life. Your persistence, determination when others said it could not be done, commitment, dedication to others and your amazing leadership skills are fundamental in shifting from success to significance.” “Being a part of your “Tennis Dynasty” for four years and playing under your leadership was both an honor and privilege. At the same time I didn’t realize how valuable the life’s lessons were that I was acquiring. You don’t always see the magnitude of something while in the middle of it. What you write about is exactly what your expectations were of each player. Good sportsmanship, hard work, discipline, teamwork, training, preparation, compassion, self-control, enthusiasm and friendship are all attributes that you valued and instilled in us as our leader. These qualities have carried over into adulthood and are great strengths to have throughout life.” “Whether you are a coach wanting to build a team dynasty, or an athlete wanting to master his or her skill, this book is a roadmap to do just that.” ~Tamara Myers-CUP Hall of Fame Member (1987-1990) Tennis Team Captain, Medical Sales Rep. “Norb always has a plan, and with that plan he has always had Beverly to make sure he stayed focused to get these plans accomplished. Only Norb could have believed and figured out how to build a dynasty in a place that is known for Wrestling and Autumn Leaf Festival. If you want to know how to build a successful program in sports, business, and even life, read this book, “How to Build a Sport or Life Dynasty”. Everyone thought he was crazy, including his assistant coaches and some of his players who are in the Clarion Sports Hall of Fame, but two years later, we were not only the best tennis team in the PSAC for four straight years, we were the dominant team on the whole east coast. Coach Baschnagel is the only person who could have believed and made this happen, and I believe with hard work and using his principal’s you could be as successful as he was, but you must burn the midnight oil. You can’t be successful by accident, and this success story does not come without a few hard times and headaches. It is a book that you will not be able to put down and you can use every day.” ~Philip D. Popielski Jr CUP Student Assistant Tennis Coach (1984-1987), Assistant Principal Woodlawn High School Baltimore, MD “In this his fourth sports themed book Norbert Baschnagel tells the story of how he took a struggling, non-winning women’s tennis program at Clarion University of Pennsylvania and turned it into the conference leader with an astounding string of wins during his stint as head coach. The achievement led to many honors including his being named the conference’s “Coach of the Year” and being inducted into the Clarion University Sports Hall of Fame.” Baschnagel then provides a detailed blueprint of how he achieved his success and how others can achieve similar results. Baschnagel eventually left coaching to become a member of the Clarion University faculty, teaching in the university’s Department of Health and Physical Education for many years before retiring recently. A few years before his retirement Professor Baschnagel received one of academia’s highest honors when he was named a full professor. Though Coach/Professor Baschnagel is now retired he is not resting on his laurels as he remains active in the community and the sports world. And as this book ably demonstrates while he may be retired he is still very much in the game.” ~Dr. William Buchanan, Professor Emeritus, Department of Information and Library Science, Clarion University of Pennsylvania

Paul Roos is one of the most highly respected coaches in Australian sport. Since he took on the coaching job for the Sydney Swans in 2000, his unique approach to motivation and leadership has transformed the Swans from bottom-of-the-table dwellers to two-time grand finalists and 2005 premiership winners. The "Roos factor" is widely acknowledged as the driving force behind the Swans' ongoing success.In Sport is Life, Life is Sport, Paul Roos reveals the man behind the public persona: a man deeply committed to family, to balance and to wellbeing, as well as to coaching. His wife of over 20 years, Tami Roos, joins him as they reveal the secrets and strategies behind the Roos approach to life, between them covering issues such as work/life balance, the importance of family, travel, goal-setting and prioritising, parenting, sport and health, community, spiritual well-being and, of course, coaching.Adamant that lessons learned on the field apply equally to all aspects of life, Paul and Tami are refreshingly honest and upfront as they impart their collective wisdom, earned from lives punctuated by public achievement. Paul divulges his until-now undisclosed coaching code, the "list" he made as a player, and sheds light on the leadership structure that makes the premiership-winning Sydney Swans the heart and soul of Aussie Rules in New South Wales.
