One of my pet reading areas is in sports psychology. I find that especially after studying something like the internal arts, you get an even greater appreciation for what goes on in your head with regards to the various facets of training.
I recently found a blog on sports psychology and combat sports. I haven’t yet had a chance to read through the whole thing, actually I only read the first couple paragraphs so far, but I’m guessing some of you might want to check it out.
There’s a lot of good books out there on the subject. Actually, I’ve also heard that GSP recently credited his visits with a sports psychologist for preparing him so well for his latest fight with Matt Hughes.
Anyways, here’s the link:

I’ll definitely be reading this! Good stuff. For anyone who can find a copy, there’s a great book out there called “Red Gold” by Grigori Raiport. He was the sports psychologist for the Soviet Olympic team in 84 or whenever it was they took home all of the golds.
Takes time and practice…
