Head in the Game

Overall, I enjoyed the subject matter which is why I purchased this book in the first place. However it was not as enjoyable a read as I hoped for:Writing style is too informal. Brandon is a baseball player, not a writer and that is quite obvious throughout the book. Surprisingly it makes the book more difficult to read.Most of the time he just regurgitates the marketing verbiage from various products he comments on in the book. I can go on the website of said product and read it for myself. Are you going to provide any deeper insight to this product? Because if not, then I don't need to read the book to learn these things.Its a shame because the topic as a whole is very intriguing and clearly an industry at the precipice of a boom as athletes and other elite individuals look to upgrade themselves to the next level of performance.

Reading “Head in the Game” is like taking a physical and metaphysical trip to explore the dimensions, techniques, experiences, hardware, software and more that athletes will seek and try in pursuit of excellence in their game. But it’s more in that the athlete’s journey is a metaphor for the quest many seeking excellence have tried throughout human time to reach the peak in performance or spirituality or thought. It’s also a really fun read, documenting actual experiences told in the story telling tradition. Finally, this book helps you realize that while it’s ultimately worthwhile to reach for the peak, in doing so, we expand the limits of human experience so that “the peak” is not a static fixed place, but moving and always pulling us forward toward new goals.

Head Game beschreibt eine umfangreiche Auswahl an Möglichkeiten die sportliche Leistung zu steigern.Es werden viele Namen, Firmen und Kalenderdaten verbreitet und auch mehrmals wiederholt, was an einenWerbespot erinnert.Eine straffere Gestaltung plus einer besseren Strukturierung würden dem Buch mehr Leistung und Punkte verleihen.Was ausgeklammert wurde ist das aktuelle Doping.Als Zielgruppe sehe ich Leser, die Informationen über die Möglichkeiten für den Spitzensportler suchen,weniger geeignet für Interessierte von praktischen Tipps für den Normalathleten.

Not overly technical but deep enough for my liking and interest. Definitely an area to explore in more depth if you are a high level athlete or coach.

I liked the book. It described different methods pro sports players us to gain possible edge. Last few chapters are short and covers thing you can possibly do at home. I was hoping for something to help me compete more. Ones mentioned here is no applicable. There were a couple good useful quotes to get you things done.
