The Champion's Comeback

How Great Athletes Recover, Reflect, and Re-Ignite
by Jim Afremow | Rodale Books © 2016 · 272 pages

Jim Afremow is one of the world’s leading sports psychologists. We covered his first book The Champion’s Mind. This one is kinda like part 2 in which we look at how the Champion responds to the inevitable (!) setbacks faced on the road to greatness—using those setbacks as opportunities to bounce back and make a sweet comeback. Big Ideas we explore include seeing setbacks as challenges rather than threats, outperforming our contracts, practicing ’till you can’t get it wrong, and the 3 P’s of peak performance.


I have one thing to say to those nonbelievers: Don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion!
Rudy Tomjanovich

“Grasping the baton from the hand of The Champion’s Mind: How Great Athletes Think, Train, and Thrive, this book looks at how all great champions continue to persevere despite losses, injuries, and other personal and professional setbacks. Success in sports rarely follows a straight line or predictable path.

The Champion’s Comeback zeroes in on how champions learn to repeat their successes and pick themselves up after setbacks by consistently practicing positive habits and thought patterns. This book is for people of all ages and all levels of competition. If you have the heart and desire to get back in your game and compete like a champion, this book is for you.”
