2.0 out of 5 stars Competitive Fire - Not my favorite book on the subject, June 6, 2000

This review is from: Competitive Fire (Paperback)
I've been reading a number of Sports Psychology books of the past months. I found Competitive Fire to be the least compelling of the books I've read. Clarkson provides many quotes and examples from professional athletes, but doesn't manage to organize the material in a way that provides "Insights to developing the warrior mentality". I found it to be a repetitive collection of quotes with no particular direction.

I much prefer and recommend Flow in Sports by Susan A. Jackson, or In Pursuit of Excellence by Terry Orlick. You might also check out Mastery by George Leonard, or The Mental Edge by Loren Christensen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not many facts, December 14, 2009

This review is from: Competitive Fire (Paperback)
This book is based heavily on anecdotal evidence. There are few numbers to back up its claims. Still pretty interesting when looking into the mind of a superstar.
