  Great athletes train their bodies hard, but they also need to train their minds just as hard – to keep positive, stay focused under pressure, and to cope with disappointments (like an injury that stops them competing for a season). I wanted to study how these great athletes’ minds work, so that I could help other people learn how they can train their own minds, to perform better and reach their goals.
