Idrætspsykologi

Sammen med en lang række af Danmarks absolut bedste sportsfolk undersøger forfatterne – en fodboldtræner og en ledelsesforsker – hvad det har af konsekvenser, når man ikke primært er motiveret af at vinde, men føler sig forpligtet af sit talent til at sætte sig spor på anden måde. Ofte bliver de misforstået med et potentielt talenttab til følge.Vi tror ofte, at topatleters primære drivkraft er at vinde. At de sætter sig mål, og at deres karriere og motivation kulminerer, når de løfter trofæet eller får guldmedaljen om halsen. Men langt fra alle har det sådan. Nogle dyrker deres sport for at vinde, andre ønsker at gøre en forskel. Andre igen er i konkurrence med sig selv og søger ikke sejrens ydre sødme. Alle vil gerne vinde, men sejr er ikke den primære drivkraft for alle.De atleter, hvis primære drivkraft ikke er at vinde, bliver ofte misforstået i en verden, der hylder de ydre præstationer. Når de bliver mødt med præstationskrav og resultatmål, mister de motivationen, de mister meningen med at dyrke deres sport, og de mister sig selv. I mødet med præstationskulturen indstiller nogle karrieren, før den overhovedet er kommet i gang, mens andre præsterer ringere og ringere, fordi deres flamme ikke længere brænder rent. Nogle bliver sat af holdet, fordi de bliver opfattet som arrogante, fordi de ikke motiveres af de målsætninger, de mødes med. Alt i alt er der risiko for et ødelæggende talenttab, hvis man ikke forstår, hvad disse atleter er drevet af, og hvordan de skal ledes.Talent tabes dog ikke kun i sportens verden. Det tabes også i erhvervslivet og i skolesystemet og andre steder, hvor den målstyrede præstationskultur dominerer. Målstyring motiverer nogle, men langt fra alle, og den motiverer slet ikke originalerne og de kreative og innovative talenter. Bogens casestudie af elitesport skal derfor illustrere et større talenttab: Det talenttab, vi som samfund ikke har råd til og derfor er forpligtet til at forhindre.Deltagerne i bogen er Mikkel Kessler (boksning), Rikke Møller Pedersen (svømning), Frederik Løchte Nielsen (tennis), Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (fodbold), Rasmus Henning (triatlon), Sara Slott (hækkeløb), Rene Holten Poulsen (kajak), William Kvist (fodbold), Lisbeth Seierskilde (dressurridning), Michael Maze (bordtennis).

Focusing on sport and exercise psychology, this book provides a thorough introduction to key concepts in the field and draws connections between research and practice and captures the dynamism of sport and exercise.

Ordet præstation splitter folk. Nogle taler om ’high performance’ som om præstationer og resultater er meningen med livet. For andre er præstation et fyord associeret med forestillinger om folk der bevidstløst spæner rundt i en trædemølle. Begge opfattelser er forfejlede og udtjente. At præstere kan aldrig være et mål i sig selv. Men uden præstationer kommer vi ingen vegne. De udfordringer menneskeheden står over for, kræver at vi præsterer på et ekstraordinært niveau. Derfor må vi nytænke præstation og præstationsledelse og se det i en mere nutidig og menings-fuld kontekst.For at kunne præstere på et ekstraordinært niveau er vi nødt til at slippe mageligheden og træde ind i ubehaget. Vi skal blive bedre til at møde den usikkerhed og sårbarhed som præstation og ledelse af præstation indebærer, og være villige til at gå ad veje vi endnu ikke kender for at aktivere nye lag af vores ydeevne.Bogen fordyber sig i de psykologiske og filosofiske aspekter ved ubehag i en præstationskontekst, og udforsker hvad det vil sige at være et præste-rende menneske i vores tid. En tid, som kalder på en mere meningsfuld forbindelse mellem den ydre kompleksitet og den indre verden vi også besidder.

Winner of the Cross Sports International Autobiography of the Year awardIn the 1970s, Diana Nyad was widely regarded as the greatest long-distance swimmer in the world and set many world records, such as circling Manhattan Island and crossing the 102.5 miles between the Bahamas and Florida. But one record continually eluded her: becoming the first woman to swim between Cuba and the Florida Keys without a shark cage. Finally, in September 2013, after four failed attempts and at the age of sixty-four, Diana completed the crossing after two days and two nights of continuous swimming - 53 consecutive hours, 110 miles. Millions of people watched her and cried and cheered and were dazzled and amazed by her tenacity and courage. Her memoir, Find a Way, is a dramatic, page-turning account of the epic endurance quest that led to that moment, and is also a galvanizing call to live life boldly, in-the-moment, fearlessly, passionately, with no regrets. What makes this book special is that it not only recounts an astonishing and hard won triumph, though it does tell the story of an extraordinary and improbable victory. What makes this book, and Nyad herself, so incredible is the fact of her monumental courage in the face of failure. Nyad failed, and failed, and failed, and failed, but never gave up, and this memoir shows her unwavering belief in the face of overwhelming odds. It is about perseverance, tenacity and commitment on an epic scale.

There are few things more powerful than a team of high-character athletes and leaders who make each other and their communities better. There are also few things more dangerous than a team led by leaders who have bad intentions or weak character. Winning with Character addresses the challenges of developing strong character. The book describes The "Elite Leader of Character framework as a both a model and a set of tools to develop leaders of character. The book is for coaches and athletes alike who want to develop principled leadership in themselves or their teams. It is clear that winning matters, it is also clear that winning without integrity (dishonesty, cheating, poor sportsmanship and weak teamwork) is not a lesson that you want to teach as a coach, or learn as a player. Winning with Character helps leaders learn how to lead the right way, and to avoid developing a toxic, "win-at-all cost" culture. Winning with Character emphasizes that winning matters AND winning can be achieved the right way. What is the "cost" of a win-at-all-cost culture? The cost is character. A win-at-all-cost culture teaches athletes and future leaders that it is okay to do whatever they want to win, including lying, cheating, stealing, or disrespecting others. These toxic behaviors stick with the athletes into adulthood making them adults that don't understand what it means to work hard, love others, and live lives of integrity and honor. Winning matters but it shouldn't come at the expense of ruining an athlete and coaches' character. Winning with Character helps develop character in athletes by presenting a leadership development model (TEACH), a principled leadership framework (Elite Leader of Character), and numerous examples of good and bad character that athletes can model or learn from.
