The Practicing Mind By Thomas M. Sterner


You ever notice how great athletes usually posses skills in a variety of subjects. Are they blessed with "skill"? Or is "learning" itself a skill that they have mastered and once learning is mastered building a diverse set of skills become much easier?

The Practicing Mind is a book that combines both eastern philosophy and modern sports psychology to make for a very good read. I highly recommend it.

P.S. If focus or concentration is a problem for you then this is your book.

My Buddy Dave needs to read that. I can't tell you how many times per game that I have to remind him what balls he is playing.

And he is actually a very good player. Just rather look at waitresses bums than the game.

I Multi Task. I can do both.

Competing is a skillset all by itself. Once you know how to compete you can use that basic skillset to compete at anything just adding the skills to perform that activity on top of the basic knowledge of how to compete.

Actually the eyes have it... if you are bleesed with 20:10 vision as a youth you will pretty much be a natural in any hand/eye sport..... aside from vision I don't think you have any shot at corelation...
 
I got a Kindle copy which I converted to epub to read on my Nook HD. Thanks for the information!
 
I started a Hardy Boys Adventure last night. Kind hard to get past all the big words but I think I can do it.

One of the smartest men I have ever known loaned me a book he really liked one time. I think it was "The Red Pony". He read at a second or third grade level. No idea how much formal education he had but if he told you a rooster could tote a bale of cotton all you needed to be doing was finding a place for the rooster to put it.

I know you were joking but smarts and learning are both wherever you find them and I have met many a man educated far beyond his intelligence!

Could be worse. I was walking through the old cemetery across the highway from me the other day, dates back to the early 1800's. The epitaph on one stone reads Here lies my husband Smidt, a good man. Too soon dead, too late hardt!
