CONSULTANT'S BOOKS USED WITH SWEDISH NATIONAL TEAMS

PHOENIX, AZ - More and more top-level athletes seeking the critical edge in performance are incorporating mental training into their sports regimen. Swedish national teams and coaches will be receiving mental training at a special new national training center in Örebro, Sweden. Five books on sports psychology written by Phoenix-based sports consultant, Marie Dalloway, Ph.D. will be used as part of this new program.
The books by Dalloway focus on key mental skills, including visualization, concentration, and risk taking. Dalloway states, "These mental skills enhance performance by helping athletes to perform more consistently and to maximize more of their athletic potential, especially under conditions of pressure." Dalloway's books that will be part of the training materials for the athletes and coaches are: Visualization: The Master Skill In Mental Training; Concentration: Focus Your Mind, Power Your Game; Drive and Determination: Developing Your Inner Motivation; Risk Taking: Performing Your Best During Critical Times; and Reflections On The Mental Side of Sports.
The Swedish Olympic Committee asked the renown sports psychologist, Lars-Eric Unestâhl, Ph.D. to establish this center. The tasks for the center include working with the different national teams, arranging education for coaches, and developing areas through research. So far seven of the Swedish national teams have received training through the Örebro Center.
Marie Dalloway is available for discussion/interviews on the topics of performance enhancement training in sports or concentration skills for athletes.
