One of the more frequent challenges faced by athletes is how to improve their performance. They express frustration that they often possess identical, if not superior, physical attributes to their competition, yet they're consistently being outperformed by that competition. In many cases, the problem is rooted in self-doubt and other beliefs that limit their level of performance.
Using self-hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Time Line Therapy®, Laura Boynton King teaches the reader/rider how to stop dwelling on past failures and other negative feelings and images through stress-reduction techniques, positive imagery, and concentration- focusing skills.
Whether the rider feels held back by physical fear (for example, riding a livelier horse or jumping a higher fence than he or she is accustomed to), negative comments from a trainer or a horse show judge, or show-ring performance anxiety, here is a book designed to help replace a "losing" mentality with the winning edge. Full of valuable advice and illustrated with examples of how the author has helped well-known equestrians, THE POWER TO WIN is a valuable tool for all competitive or recreational riders-indeed, any athlete-at any level, as well as for instructors and parents.

Reviewer: Stuckenfoo, Buffalo, Wyoming
I enjoyed the book - - it's a great explanation of why it's important to use sub-conscious suggestions, and how much they can truly help. It's about time the rest of us caught up with the professional sports world in the use of these. However, the majority of this book is made up of the scripts for self-hypnosis sessions (or meditations), and altho' they're interesting to read, you really need these on a CD or MP3... So go to the author's website and get the CD's! They're truly the best setup, and you can find much of the info from the book on her web site as well. Get these CD's - - they're awesome! And the other reviewers are right... this stuff applies to so much more than just horses. She even has CD's for golf, and weight loss, etc. The meditations are wonderful - - they'll affect your entire life. Definitely recommend them.

The Power to Win Book helped change my way of thinking and focusing better in life and riding. The book was full of great information for myself a horseback rider or for anyone in general involved in sports. I would reccomend this book to anyone who would like to understand sports in general especially horse back riding more easily. It was a great book.
I don't own a horse and I still loved this book

Reviewer: Lipsmoving, Ft. Lauderdale
I received this book as a gift. I don't own a horse, never have, so I was puzzled by the gift. Ms. King's book was an informative, yet easily understandable read. I gained insights into what holds us back from winning and the importance letting go of unwanted "noise." I would recommend this book to ANY ATHLETE or ANY person wanting to acheive their best, not just those in the equestrian world.
