The Art of Personal Competition - How to become a key team player

This is how Sun Tsu would guide your competitive development

2,500 years ago, a Chinese general, Sun Tsu, wrote a treatise titled “The Art of War”. It summarized his lifetime experiences of what was important about warfare and battlefield management.

The first words are “The art of war is of vital importance …”. This is how millions of students began their education into the philosophy of organized conflict. His words (translated by Lionel Giles) are presented here – and how they apply to you.

This book provides the guidelines to effective training, preparation, planning, thinking, and execution of your sports career. Inside are the secrets of playing smarter. You will gain new insights into how to:
• Win against better players
• Trap and misdirect opponents
• Design useful strategies
• Devise effective tactics
• Attack efficiently
• Defend aggressively

Make sure you have a pencil and notepad as you read through this book. There will be much re-evaluation of bedrock doctrine. Many current beliefs could be ill-considered dogma. Plus you will need document the many tactical ideas and concepts that will light up your consciousness.

Work Description

This book applies the strategies and tactics of war to your personal development as a sports player. Consider yourself to be the general of an army of one. You have the same obligation to find ways to win on a personal level as that of the general. Your strategies focus on developing your knowledge, strength, and agility. Your tactics focus on the many ways to confront opponents through the use of movements and mind games. (The book The Psychology of Losing explains a wide variety of tactical tools you can utilize.) These actions become tools within your personal library of moves.
