Summary
This manual is one of the first to concentrate on the general psychological principles which apply to all competitive sport and lead to competition success.

He has personally studied athletes of international standing, and correlates his findings about what affects performance with recent psychological studies of how humans cope with stress such as occurs in competitive sport. 1979.
