1) Paperback Book Sporting Excellence: Optimising Sports Performance Using NLP by Crown House Publishing. Sorry to say this, but it is a really bad book! It tries to show numerous NLP techniques in a very short space, thus giving only brief information of limited value. You really don´t expect from someone to explain how to use all these techniques in only 180 pages, do you? It would be better for the author to try limit the presentation to a couple of techniques and make these easy to apply, rather than throwing to you brief descriptions of techniques and numerous, many times pointless, "activities" (excercises).

So, this book is really a collection of very briefly described NLP techniques and how they are supposed to be used by sports people, which fails both on the NLP and on the sports psychology side.

Also, the author clearly seems to have little idea of true sports mentality and how an athlete can use mental techniques for improvement. The book is clearly written from the NLP perspective and not from the point of view of someone who whants to find solutions for specific problems, i.e. "these are the techiques, you find out when and exactly how to use them".

If you are an athlete or a sport person trying to improve and heard about NLP, go get a good introductory NLP text (there are many) and you´ll easily figure out what this book is trying to tell you. Anyway, in order for you to really use NLP techniques for your benefit (that is, whithout hurting yourself in the way), you should go to a proper training course and see some real people doing this stuff...

If you are an NLPer trying to see how NLP can be applied to sports, please read a good sports psychology text book...¤

2) Paperback Book Sporting Excellence: Optimising Sports Performance Using NLP by Crown House Publishing. This book is useful not only for sporting excellence. The author guides you along very skillfully through clear concepts and sequenced activities to build your mental and bodily capabilities, inner resources, strategies, beliefs and confidence for success and team work. "NLP is not about a selfish search for success at the expense of personal happiness or causing damage to others. It is about achieving higher levels of performance and satisfaction whilst still being entirely true to oneself and, where appropriate, others as well." (p.7) Most of the activities or exercises are useful for learning and doing anything with greater improvement and mastery. The author is sensitive and nuanced in making a fairly comprehensive application of NLP. For those who haven´t been able to attend extended NLP workshops, this book is an excellent initiation.¤

3) Paperback Book Sporting Excellence: Optimising Sports Performance Using NLP by Crown House Publishing. This innovative guide to achieving sporting excellence employs the latest NLP techniques. An immensely practical and progressive book, it introduces new and revolutionary ideas to professionals and serious amateurs, while also being an ideal tool for the occasional player or beginner. It provides a practical plan for the focused evolution of performance that includes exercises in warming up, practising, mental rehearsal, psyching up, becoming more relaxed, focusing attention, and much, much more. The result is a thorough programme of training that comprehensively covers physical preparation, while also bringing to the process a fresh approach to mental preparation. Bound to appeal to all ambitious sportspeople who wish to enhance their performance using the very latest techniques.¤
