Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Head Start
Ian Price · 2018
74/100
👍 Worth It
Ian Price translates elite-sports psychology into a practical resilience toolkit that professionals and leaders can pick up and use right away. The evidence base is solid and the writing avoids the jargon trap that sinks a lot of performance psychology books. At 192 pages it does not go deep on every topic, but what it covers it covers well.
