You may have heard of the mental game. It’s what we tell ourselves preparing for, during and after any form of competition. How we play the mental game determines how we play the one on the field or in the office. Athletes know the importance of the mental game and training in order to be successful. How many business people train in order to be successful with their time? 
Not many. That's why Sports Psychologist Mike Margolies (http://www.TheMental-Game.com) wrote
 "The Athlete Within You: A Mental Approach to Sports and Business (http://www.amazon.com/The-Athlete-within-You-Approach/dp/0615507980)."
