How Bad Do You Want It?: Mastering the Psychology of Mind Over Muscle

Claire, méthodique et bien construit. Je le conseillerais aux lecteurs qui ne seraient pas encore familiers avec les concepts de "gouverneur central" de Tim Noakes ou de "modèle psychobilogique" de Samuele Marcora. L'orthographe parfois bizarre, la géographie surprenante et quelques notions de biologie-fiction font un peu sourire.

Leitura obrigatória para corredores e/ou esportistas de quaisquer outras modalidades. Os exemplos do livro são ótimos e realmente nos fazem pensar, "o quão queremos" as coisas que queremos. Claro, o pano de fundo é um esporte, mas como com tudo na vida, temos de realmente QUERER as coisas. Exemplos práticos, narrativa ótima e leve são apenas algumas das boas características da obra. Embora haja bastante informação técnica, estas não são maçantes. Bom livro, com certeza!

Great book and really well written

I value this book highly. It is informative and brilliantly written. The content is mainly racing anecdotes analysed by psychological theories. It tells of distance runners' and triathlon competitors' experiences with novel insight into the motivation for endurance competition. I enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the stories being told. Was hoping for more of how to structure my training and that is not this book.
