Any recommendations?

I participate in a number of sports, a couple of which to a decent standard. But on occasions my brain lets me down, negative thoughts creep in and have problems with consistency. I realise there's no magic cure but a book that hits the nail on the head might result in a small percentage improvement, which makes the difference between winning and losing.

I've had a look but don't know where to start. Alot of books seem to be for psychology students and i think i'd get lost with anything too technical! :)

Thanks.

    Sorry, there's nothing you can do. You're just one of life's born losers.

    No sour grapes John, i seem to remember beating you by quite a margin! Do you always play like that or were you having an off day?

    You don't seem to be suffering from a lack of self-belief or talent.

    Not me, probably another John Finch, if you could beat him, then in all likelihood a wheezing asthmatic with a broken ankle. You make me sick just looking at you, you pus-filled boil on the rear end of humanity.

    And now you've read the last message, I imagine that anger and rage is building up inside of you. Hold onto it! Keep the feeling! Let it drive you on.

    That'll be £30 please.

    Cheques in the post.

    I've followed your advice and it seems to be working, the rage thing is great, i've murdered three people already. First one was a bit tricky but gets easier.

    Cheers finchy.
