This book is a collection of intimate and sometimes shocking conversations about success. Each story will inspire, enlighten, and entertain you. In Success, not only did I seek to discover what motivates high achievers, but I also dug for the philosophies that lead to success. During these interviews, I asked uncomfortable questions that led to answers that often surprised even the athletes being interviewed, because it is the subconscious mind that drives most ambitious people to achieve.Each athlete came from a diverse background, but there were common themes that every reader can embrace and model in their own lives. A key takeaway was how each fighter defined success-often their answers contradicted societal norms.Jiu-Jitsu has often been used as a metaphor for life, but in these stories, you can replace Jiu-Jitsu with any ambitious pursuit-the lessons are universal.Get ready for an intense journey.

Projektarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sportpsychologie, Note: 2,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie sich Leistungsdruck auf Sportler auswirkt. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, mögliche Chancen und Risiken des Leistungsdrucks in Bezug auf den physischen und psychischen Aspekt zu untersuchen. Anschließend stellt der Autor Prinzipien auf, die dem Sportler, hier dem Fußballer, einen möglichst verantwortungsvollen Leistungssport ermöglichen sollen.Die Gefühle gehen im Profifußball meist in das Extreme, da es selten einen Mittelweg gibt, wenn man auf die Karte Spitzensport setzt. Doch wenn Sportler gewissen Grundprinzipien folgen, können sie negative Auswirkungen minimieren und durch den Druck sogar in ihrer körperlichen und geistigen Entwicklung gefördert werden.Der moderne Fußball macht rasante Fortschritte: professionelle Trainer, teure Spieler und eine extrem hohe mediale Aufmerksamkeit. Doch welche Auswirkungen hat dieser steigende Leistungsdruck auf junge Fußballer? Bestehen neben Risiken, wie sozialer Abschottung und Vernachlässigung der schulischen Ausbildung, möglicherweise auch Chancen?

How can you maximize successand limit failure?Wall Street Journalreporter Ben Cohenbrilliantly investigates the mystery and science of streaks, from basketball to business. "e;A feast for anyone interested in the secrets of excellence."e;Andre AgassiFor decades, statisticians, social scientists, psychologists, and economists (among them Nobel Prize winners) have spent massive amounts of precious time thinking about whether streaks actually exist. After all, a substantial number of decisions that we make in our everyday lives are quietly rooted in this one question: If something happened before, will it happen again? Is there such a thing as being in the zone? Can someone have a hot hand? Or is it simply a case of seeing patterns in randomness? Or, if streaks are possible, where can they be found?In The Hot Hand, Wall Street Journal reporter Ben Cohen offers an unfailingly entertaining and provocative investigation into these questions. He begins with how a $35,000 fine and a wild night in New York revived a debate about the existence of streaks that was several generations in the making. We learn how the ability to recognize and then bet against streaks turned a business school dropout named David Booth into a billionaire, and how the subconscious nature of streak-related bias can make the difference between life and death for asylum seekers. We see how previously unrecognized streaks hidden amidst archival data helped solve one of the most haunting mysteries of the twentieth century, the disappearance of Raoul Wallenberg. Cohen also exposes how streak-related incentives can be manipulated, from the five-syllable word that helped break arcade profit records to an arc of black paint that allowed Stephen Curry to transform from future junior high coach into the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history. Crucially, Cohen also explores why false recognition of nonexistent streaks can have cataclysmic results, particularly if you are a sugar beet farmer or the sort of gambler who likes to switch to black on the ninth spin of the roulette wheel.
