The Champion's Comeback: How Great Athletes Recover, Reflect, and Re-Ignite [Hardcover]

Your ultimate guide to overcoming losses and injuries and achieving greatness—on and off the field.

Leading sports psychologist Jim Afremow, author of The Champion’s Mind, knows what makes good athletes great, especially when they come back to win after facing devastating injuries, tough obstacles, or seemingly insurmountable odds. Making a comeback isn’t just about raw talent or athletic ability—it’s the mental game that counts most.

In The Champion’s Comeback, he offers winning strategies for athletes of any age or skill level to get mentally psyched for competition, quickly rebound after a loss, and overcome injuries (and the fear of re-injury). Afremow explores the psychology of commitment and shows you how to develop the core confidence of repeat champions.

Featuring unique tips and advice, including guided imagery scripts, easy-to-follow mental training exercises, and motivating stories of famous “comeback” athletes, The Champion’s Comeback is the ultimate athlete’s handbook, encouraging you to not only stay in the game but also achieve greatness, no matter what.“The Champion’s Comeback is full of difference making mental insights. The materials, like the 7L’s, are innovative and often presented in the best learning mode – make the points and explain with outstanding examples. Championships earned include confronting failures and using them to improve: Jim Afremow has given us the “comeback” factors in an important and entertaining read!” --TONY LA RUSSA, MLB Hall of Famer, 3x World Series Champion
