I'm pretty excited since I just recently received, In Pursuit of Excellence: How to Win in Sport and Life Through Mental Training, Third Edition
Pictured Above: Back at coed tryouts a photo of Toronto's Riverdale East hill run (photo courtesy of Jason Moy) This book is divided into four parts:
- Visions of excellence
- Committing to excellence
- Mental Preparation for excellence
- Living excellence
Like I said, I'm a little nervous about the quality of this book since it my basic preview gives me the sense that the book is fluffy and will say things such as, "you need to visualize what you are doing" without any concrete steps on how to do visualization.

maybe they mean "keep your eye on the prize"- see? it all makes sense now.
I would agree with your assessment. I own the book as well and at first thought it was interesting. However, on reflection, I don't find that he gives much (i) evidence or (ii) guidelines for the things that he says.
Also, last year I heard him talk at a conference and that sealed the deal - it was one of the worst talks I've heard. He basically talked for an hour and a half on the topic of "focus rules" without either having focus or rules.
