Martin Turner's book of poems is unusual because he does not claim to be a poet. It is different,too, because he never studied or tried to learn about the different forms poetry can take. Almost all his work appears to be triggered by someone or something in his life and then simply pours onto the page from some deep source in his head.¿It may be his own experiences that explain why this book attempts to reveal how even the darkest times that we all experience from time to time can pass, and life become good and fulfilling again. Quite a number of these poems are about love and were inspired by love. Martin Turner is a fortunate man to have shared life and love with the different muses who have inspired him and given him the ability to write down his thoughts and feelings. Because of these muses he clearly never had to sit and try to think what to write. It is also evident that in his poems he enjoys using the beautiful words of the English language to create images in the mind of the reader.

At the highest level, athletes are highly skilled, highly trained, and highly proficient machines.Take the 100m sprint for example. All of the athletes in the Olympic final can run sub-ten seconds. They are all fast! But on the day, the deciding factor is often not how fast they are, but rather, how fast they can run under the high pressure circumstances of an Olympic final.The ability to deal with pressure is not about any physical or technical skill, but is more about what goes on between the ears - in other words, it is psychological and about performing with freedom, dealing with distractions, regulating emotions, maintaining self-confidence, and trusting the body's ability to deliver under pressure."The ability to produce a world-beating time is about how you use your mind to allow your body to function with freedom and fluency."Many athletes grow up with the philosophy that their mental approach to performance is fixed. They do the same things over and over again and expect excellence. But we know that mental approaches are not fixed. They are extremely changeable and adaptable, and therefore the greatest athletes can develop their mental approaches to fulfil their potential. Athletes who can deal with pressure enjoy their sport more, achieve excellence and are resilient to the demands of competition and training.Tipping The Balance offers contemporary evidence-based and highly practical mental strategies that help an athlete to develop the crucial mental skills that enable them to thrive under pressure, perform consistently when it matters most, and enjoy the challenge of the big event.This book is about empowering you - the athlete - no matter what level you perform at. In this book you will discover the secrets of how the world's greatest athletes draw on cutting edge psychological skills to use what's between their ears to maximize performance.Who is the book for? This book will show you that pressure is a perception. No matter what sport you play or what level you perform at, this book shows you how to develop a winning mental edge. It does not matter whether you are targeting the Olympic marathon or a local 5k, whether you are a weekend golfer or a tour professional, a local tennis player or a top 250 athlete - this book is for all athletes at all levels, across all sports, who want to become more successful.Perhaps you are not an athlete, but you work closely with athletes. Maybe you are a coach, a parent, or performance director and sport scientist looking to develop evidence-based and effective psychological training and development programs for your athletes. You too will find the contents of this highly practical book useful as a key stakeholder in the performance of athletes.Note:This is the sister publication to "What Business Can Learn From Sport Psychology: Ten Lessons for Peak Professional Performance".
