"An eight-skill program by the longtime sport psychologist for the U.S. Olympic Committee, designed to put your performance - athletic or corporate - in the "Zone," that level of accomplishment where your very best work feels easy and effortless." "As sport psychologist for the U.S. Olympic Committee, Dr. Shane Murphy has counseled elite athletes at the height of their sports, helping them forge the mental edge vital to peak performance. Now, in a clear, concise, step-by-step guide, he makes his techniques available to the weekend warrior as well as those striving under the pressure of world-class competition." "Success in any endeavor is predicated on two sets of abilities. The first is technical: knowing the job. The second - often ignored - involves performing well in a competitive environment. The Achievement Zone focuses on this second set of skills, breaking them down into intelligible components so that instead of "just doing it" you'll know precisely how."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The concept of My One Word is simple. Lose the long list of resolutions--all your sweeping promises to change--and do something about one thing this year instead of nothing about everything. Choose just one word that represents what you most hope God will do in you, and focus on it for an entire year. This single act will force clarity and concentrate your efforts. As you focus on your word over an extended period of time, you position yourself for God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level. Growth and change will result. Author Mike Ashcraft, who has led his megachurch through this My One Word project for more than five years, and Proverbs 31 Ministries author and speaker Rachel Olsen, who has lived it, are encouraging, insightful, good-humored, yet realistic in this enjoyable read. Their stories of growth and change through My One Word will keep you motivated. Throughout the book you'll also find words and stories of people just like you who have joined the My One Word movement and discovered the power of just one word. Includes discussion questions for use with the small-group video curriculum, My One Word: A DVD Study (sold separately).
