The olive grove. The champions of ancient Olympia
Author: Daniele Merelli
Publisher: Youcanprint
ISBN: 8831656368
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
The Olympic Games were the most important athletic competitions in Greece and the ancient world, held without interruption for over a thousand years, which preceded and inspired the sport of today. For the winners, the prize was a simple, highly coveted, olive wreath, however, what actually entailed an Olympic victory was glory, both on a personal level and for the city represented. In the spring of 148 BC the Games are now imminent and the meeting between a countryman and a wayfarer, surrounded by a luxuriant olive grove near Olympia, is the prelude to a dialogue in which, thanks to the memories of a special eyewitness who lived centuries earlier, will be celebrated the most famous Olympic athletes, real heroes of antiquity in which history and legend intertwine until they become confused, and where facts and curiosities about the multiform Greek world will be recalled.

The Champion Mindset
Author: Joanna Zeiger
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250096715
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
An in-depth mental motivational book for all athletes from Olympian Dr. Joanna Zeiger that offers game-changing strategies for programming your brain to achieve physical excellence. Champions, as the familiar adage preaches, are not born—they're made. Reaching the top of any sport, or any aspect of life, takes years upon years of dedication and proper preparation. But if there's a huge pool of individuals who have undertaken the same commitment and steps towards becoming the best, what truly separates the winners from everyone else? Joanna Zeiger believes proper mental preparation is the answer. The Champion Mindset is a much-needed and long overdue look into how to program a competitor's mind to achieve optimal success. Changing behaviors and ways of thinking are never easy, but the chapters in this book aim to simplify this process to make it manageable and achievable. This book is for every athlete—from the weekend warrior, who wants to complete in his or her first 5k running race, to those who have aspirations of one day becoming Olympians and world champions. The Champion Mindset is a compendium of Zeiger's own personal journey from struggling novice swimmer to Olympian and World Champion. Through steps including: Proper Goal Setting, Keeping it Fun, Building Your Team, Intention in Training, Improving Motivation, Promoting Self-Confidence, and Mind/Body Cohesion, among others, Zeiger uses her decades of personal experience, doctoral-level research, and professional success, to prepare readers to go all-in with their mental game.
