Winning at Sport explains how you can rapidly improve your sports performance, whatever your level, by training and competing more effectively. You'll no longer waste time practising things that have little or no effect; instead, you'll replace them with methods that science has shown to work.

This book will correct the damaging errors you probably make when you practise and compete. You'll learn what you're doing wrong and how you can fix it. You'll improve in two ways. First, you'll reach the highest performance level you're capable of - what your talent allows. Second, you'll learn to bring out your best performance under competitive pressure.

Using evidence from more than 700 research studies, Professor Chris Riddoch applies the science of high performance to a practical performance-improvement programme for players of all levels. A programme based on simplicity.

Be the best player you can be

Chris Riddoch woke up one morning and pondered why he was regularly losing squash games against his arch enemy. Things were getting serious. Self-esteem was plummeting, frustration was growing, and confidence was at an all-time low. Well past the glory days of his youth, he wondered whether his arch enemy was just that bit younger, fitter, more cunning, or a downright cheat.

To make matters worse, he had no excuse-he was a sport science professor and should know why he was losing. All he needed to do was re-read his text books, collect a few up-to-date research articles, and the problem would be revealed. He did this, and it was.

But what he discovered was earth-shattering. He found much of what he 'knew' was either out-dated or just plain wrong, and most of his efforts during practice and play were misdirected or wasted. Science had moved on, but he hadn't. And if this could happen to him, in his specialist field, it must be happening to most players.

The good news is, Chris discovered the cornerstone of outstanding sports performance-simplicity. Ironically, decades of complicated scientific studies, theories, and jargon are telling us to make sport simple. To declutter our overloaded brains, not confuse them even more.

In Winning at Sport, Chris shows how to do this-how to sharpen your performance and become a winner, whatever level you play at.
