Robin smith and john crace (1 risultati)

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Paperback Printing. Paperback. Foreword by Graham Gooch. Professional cricket in the nineties is played every bit as much in the minds as in the middle. More players fail at international level through an inability to cope with the pressures than through inadequate technique. But his own admission, Robin Smith is not a naturally self-confident man. In this book he openly discusses his mental approach to the game, with all its strengths and weaknesses. He describes his psychological development from a young boy, who got up at 4.30 every morning to practise, to Test batsman, and tells us how he is motivated, how he concentrates, and how he copes with fear. In the final chapter, Smith reviews in detail a Test match and a One-day International innings, both of which provide a graphic illustration of all the ideas brought up in the book. 205 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
