Reseña del libro "Mind Over Data: Commodified Athletes and Overlooking Mental Power (en Inglés)"

The idea that mental prowess has a role in sports is common knowledge and finds its way into many of sports' most popular cliches like "get your head in the game!" and "you have to want it more!" It is a widely accepted truth that there is more to sports than pure physical talent, yet we cast aside the reality of mentality and instead almost entirely focus on the corporal component of sports.What does it mean to have the mental fortitude to thrive at the top levels of sport? And why, in an era of exploding statistics, analysis and data, do we understand so little about the mental side of the game?The current methods we use to value athletes when signing contracts is leaving out a crucial aspect. With the direction that American sports culture is headed in it is critical, now more than ever, to understand and appreciate the mental side of the game. The intangible aspects of sports need to be held to the same standard as the physical components, regardless of the fact that they are harder to visualize and quantify. Mind Over Data: Commodified Athletes and Overlooking Mental Power is an excavation into understanding the role the mind plays in today's sports.Inside the book you'll learn: * Why frame of mind is so important to sports, both positively and negatively* Why the current methods of athletic valuation are flawed* To recognize the biases against mentalityPeople need to be more cognizant of the real importance of the mental side of sports as well as the many intricacies related to it. Mind Over Data addresses these issues and challenges all of us to encourage athletes to speak up about mental struggles and treat those hurdles equal to their physical counterparts. Through stories of defeat and triumph perpetuated by different outlooks, you will be able to connect the dots in your own unique way and better understand the powerful role of an invisible force.
