Tacticalpanda Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I stumbled across this boom written by an Olympic shooter. Has anyone had a chance to read it and did you find it applicable to shooting sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It is one of the main books in this sport. Along with Enos, Stoeger and Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911luvr Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I stumbled across this boom written by an Olympic shooter. Has anyone had a chance to read it and did you find it applicable to shooting sports?As you said, it is a book about mental conditioning that was written by an Olympic Shooting gold medalist (Lanny Basham), and you're wondering if is applicable to shooting sports? Of course, very much so. It's attributable to any sport actually, and life in general as well. Definitely a great help to get mentally prepared for winning.

Dr. Phil Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 This book is an "every year" read for me. There is another book that uses many of the same principals called "Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect". (Can't recall the author.) Great reads, and, a goldmine of information!

Dr. Bob Rotella is the author you were thinking of. I've read almost everything he's written and although he deals with golf, the skills are transferable to shooting or any other sport. Not voodoo or anything weird, just a common sense way of thinking. "By and large, winners and losers are self determined, but only winners will admit it" - Dr. Bob Rotella.

B_RAD Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Buy it! Read it, then read it again, then repeat. Then keep reading it. Seriously, I like to read it, then read Stoegers book, then read Anderson's. I'm gonna start Brian's book in about a week. Then just start over again. You'll pick up new stuff. Stuff will make a different kinda of sense the more you shoot/learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djp55 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This is a very quick read that I think has a ton of useful information about how you should go about the mental game. Anderson seemingly swears by this book and I agree with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James3Gunna Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Excellent book! Read this and Brian's book, really helped my mental prep for 3 gun. I am still working on getting out of my own way and just shooting , but it will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scroadkill Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) reading it now.. it seems to be the basis for so many things I've learned the hard way over a lifetime of sports. While I shoot uspsa, I also coach HS baseball with a focus on hitting .. and I guess like so many things that happen really really fast, it is all about practice, confidence, self trust and subconscious reaction. Too much conscious thought screws up everything. I have my 3 rules of baseball I have been teaching for years.. #1 Trust yourself and your team and good things happen. #2 Swing the stinking bat. #3 No wet blankets in the dugout. But I feel a tweeking to these rules in the near future. Edited September 24, 2017 by scroadkill typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MQW Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Some other good books are anything on competition by Saul Kirsh, and I would highly recommend the "Bulletproof Mind" series on CD by Dave Grossman, LTC (ret), he delves into what your mind-set needs to be when you are on the "two-way range", if you get my drift; that is when it really counts. The competition is great stuff but in the end we are all training for one thing, to make those hits count when it means life or death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part_time_redneck Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Does anyone know if it's available anywhere as an audiobook? I drive for a so-called living and that's my preference. I'll do CD if I have to but prefer the former. Sorry if I missed it above. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNW Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Here's Basham's website. https://mentalmanagement.com/ I have all his stuff for sporting clays shooting and it definitely enhanced my game when I was competing. With Winning in Mind is very good, but you have to get Freedom Flight. It may well change your life. I have most of this stuff on CD and makes for great listening while working on guns and reloading.
