 A great book from a great author August 24, 2004
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I had the fortune of knowing Gary Mack personally when I was playing for the Arizona State's Sundevils men's tennis, back in the 2000. All I can say is that the book was extremely useful to me, both in tennis and private life. The bottom line that we can all learn from it is that it's really all about attitude.
May Gary rest in peace.
 Pop Psychology August 22, 2001

Well, I read the first chapter of this book and had to put it down. If you're looking for real insight into personal athletic performance, this isn't the book. If you're looking for a typical self-help book full of trite pop psychology, this is probably for you.
The Most Important Part of the Game February 12, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As the mild winter weather promises an earlier than usual start to the golf and tennis seasons, I am thinking about equipment, exercises, instructional videotapes and maybe a short "spring training" trip to Florida. But at the top of my list this year will be a re-read of a little book by Gary Mack that will have more impact than all of the above preparations combined. I learned from "Mind Gym" that, for most of us, how we approach our games mentally is the greatest key to improvement. It made a dramatic difference for me -- in attitude, enjoyment and score!
Best one for athletes! October 5, 2007

I have read several books on the mental game in sports and this is by far the best. I work with collegiate and professional athletes and recommend this so often that Gary Mack should send me a commission!!!

Easy read, informative, and enlightening. Not extensive but perfect for someone who wants the basics and to be entertained by the many athletes mentioned and how they deal with their circumstances. Easy to apply. Should you want something with a little more detail read Mental Edge by Kenneth Baum. All in all, an uplifting and enlightening book that can be read by middle schoolers to professionals.
