Winning: The Psychology of Competition

Winning: The Psychology of Competition

This book is designed to explain why winners win, why losers loseâ€•and why everyone else finishes in the same position time after time.
Addressing the competitorâ€•whether in sailing, tennis, golf, baseball, or other sportâ€•Stuart H. Walker demonstrates that what competition means to the competitor is the main determinant of success and failure, and that what it means to you can be turned to your advantage. Dr. Walker writes, â€œCompetence leads to courage, creativity, and fun. Lack of understanding and lack of control lead to fear, depressions, and incompetenceâ€•and no fun. Competition is too good to waste.â€ For the paperback edition, Dr. Walker has written a new chapter, â€œCheating,â€ in which he discusses why cheating seems to be on the increase, what it signifies, and what should be done about it.
