The greatest athletic performances spring from the mindset, not just the muscles.
Elite athletes have known this for decades-and now science explains why. In his fascinating sports psychology book, How Bad Do You Want It?, coach Matt Fitzgerald examines more than a dozen pivotal races to explore how the best endurance athletes build mental toughness and gain a competitive edge.
Fitzgerald takes you deep into the action of over a dozen epic events in running, cycling, triathlon, XTERRA, and rowing, blending thrilling race reports with exclusive post-race interviews. Through the athletes' own words and breakthrough science, How Bad Do You Want It? reveals that developing mental fitness is the key to pushing your limits and outperforming stronger rivals.
Each chapter uncovers a defining moment when an athlete's mental game changed the outcome-showcasing powerful, practical psychobiological principles you can apply to your own training. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to improve endurance performance, develop grit, and master the psychology of endurance sports.
