Learning to Perform

Have you always wanted to know how to get the most out of your athletes? How to teach them to perform? Then read the practical book 'LEARNING TO PERFORM' and also view this accompanying site.


Who is it for?
Both the book and the site are specifically designed for trainers and coaches in sports. However, they are also interesting for athletes and other professionals who support people in achieving high performance. The content is based on theories and research from (sports) psychology, sports sciences, and pedagogy.

 

About the author
The author, Afke van de Wouw, has drawn on her experience as a sports psychologist in elite sports to create this book. All the information has been made practical, so that trainers from various sports and levels can apply it themselves.


Training materials
Here you will find worksheets, audio exercises, videos, and books referenced in the book. These exercises and tips can be added to existing training programs. This way, as many performance-related aspects as possible are trained, allowing you to achieve the same (or even more) in less time with reduced overtraining, greater well-being, and ultimately better performance.

TO TRAIN

Questionnaires

'What separates the good from the truly great? How are they the first to anticipate danger?

What makes them fastest to react? How do they spot the pass that no one else saw?

How do they hold their nerve, when a whole nation is holding its breath?

The world’s best train their brain like a muscle. They are geniuses. Now, you can train your brain too.'
