Focusing on the strategies and skills utilized by elite athletes, this book distinguishes itself by exploring self-leadership rather than merely describing mental characteristics. Through interviews with world-class athletes, it identifies five key dimensions of self-leading strategies: motivational, volitional, self-regulation, resource management, and metacognitive skills. These insights are designed to assist educators and sports psychologists in helping young athletes navigate challenges and enhance their performance, making it a valuable resource for fostering self-leadership in sports.
