This practical and highly accessible guide, written by a leading sport psychologist, will explore the importance of psychology in achieving peak cycling performance. The book will transfer the sport psychology strategies used in elite competition to equip individuals with the psychological skills to pursue performance excellence - on an off the bike.

The Cycling Mind will take the reader through the key stages of an athlete's pathway, from training through to competition, and provide guidelines to developing the psychological skills to compete at their best. In addition the strategies explored in the book can be applied across all high-pressure performance environments, including business and daily life.
