CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO You too can be ‘in the zone’. At least that’s what the authors of the new book: The 7 Secrets of World Class Athletes say. The book describes the mental freedom and powerful, effortless motion that athletes experience with ‘in the zone’.
In fact the book offers a program for athletes to follow in order to reach their highest level of performance. Including drills and concepts that enable athletes to recreate that experience.
Steve Yellin wrote the book with Buddy Biancalana, the starting shortstop for the Kansas City Royals, 1985 Word Series champions. According to Yellin one of the secrets of the zone is to create silence even before the athletic activity begins.
“Without the experience of the Transcendental Meditation® technique, our program never would have developed in its present form,” said Mr. Yellin. “By understanding the subtle nature of the mind, from a very deep and profound level, you can understand how the mind affects the body.”
The authors say they have used these drills with amateur and professional golfers, basketball players, baseball players, and tennis players.
According to John Lyberger, Director of Golf at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, home to the 2011 US Open golf this book “gets you to understand the mind-body connection.” and “unlocks the secrets of how to think in the subconscious, where you can perform at your highest effective level no matter what the sport of choice."
Recent research conducted in Norway by Dr. Fred Travis and Dr. Harald Harung, confirm that peak mental performance is the defining factor for gold medal, Olympic athletes. According to Dr. Travis, members of this elite athletic group score higher on mind-brain development tests when compared to other Olympic athletes who do not consistently place at the top levels during world, international and Olympic competitions.
Dr. Travis, who also recommends the Transcendental Meditation technique, says that elite athletes have a spontaneous and natural ability to suspend the administrative portion of their brain (the pre-frontal cortex) and flow spontaneously in waves of peak performance. This disengagement of the ‘thinking mind’ allows other areas of their brain to lead the body in a complex series of tasks like a conductor leading an award winning orchestra. The result is a near perfect, physical performance devoid of unhelpful analytical thinking.
So check out and check in with the TM technique and get in the peak performance zone!
