Book Description

April 1996
Jose Silva's guide to mental training for fitness and sports.
You've seen athletes do it at the amateur and professional levels, in all sports:
*Members of the Olympic bobsled team just before their run, eyes closed, their bodies swaying back and forth as they visualize the run.
*Professional basketball players mimicking the free throw, picturing it mentally, before actually taking the ball and shooting it.
*The diver stands on the end of the high board, eyes closed, mentally rehearsing the dive moments before attempting it.
Research has now demonstrated conclusively that when you practice mentally - at the correct level of mind - you will gain almost as much benefit as you will when you practice physically.
And when you combine both physical and mental practice, your results are far greater.
Now you can learn directly from Jose Silva, founder of the World's Number 1 scientifically researched and proven mind training program.
Recommended by top athletes like New York Yankees MVP Buckey Dent and others.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's NOT about general fitness but more for athletic performance, August 16, 2011
By 
This review is from: The Silva Method: Think and Grow Fit (Paperback)
This is a decent book for people who want to use the Silva method to improve athletic performance. But I don't love it for two reasons:

1) The title of this book is a bit misleading. It does have a very small section that talks about food, will power, exercise etc but the main focus is on how to use the mind to enhance competitiveness in the athletic world.

2) This book tries too hard to cover too many things as a result it only manages to touch the surface of each area. It's almost like a buffet table covered with random foods and you must figure out, by yourself, what to put together to make an enjoyable meal.

There is very useful information in this book but I strongly recommend checking this book out from a library before buying it.
