On Football: The Inner Game - Improving Performance by Sven-Goran Eriksson, Willi Railo and Hakan Matson (Carlton £12.99)
IF you want to know how to deal with a lack of self-belief, a player whose negativity is getting the rest of the team down, or discover Sven-Goran Eriksson's philosophy of football, then this is the place to find out.
Together with leading sports and organisational psychologist Willi Railo and Swedish journalist Matson, Eriksson has explored the best way to encourage people to succeed in sport.
On Football is a straightforward, practical guide to improving performance, whether in sport or any other area of one's life, and gives the full insight into how Eriksson goes about his preparation of a winning team.
Pressure
Topics such as building self-confidence, increasing players' mental energy, coping with pressure, how to set achievable goals, creating a balance with a team and developing a culture of winning are all covered.
On Football is the culmination of years of experience, packed with real-life situations and full of common sense.
No referee, player or anyone connected with the beautiful game should be without this finely-crafted handbook.
