  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;The first research-based program to offer concise, clear ways to realize your best performance.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; As a therapist, physician, and mental coach, Dr. Michael Lardon has dedicated his career to helping athletes understand and better achieve peak performance. In &lt;I&gt;Finding Your Zone&lt;/I&gt;, he shares with readers what he&#8217;s discovered about reaching the state in which &#8220;thoughts and actions are occurring in complete synchronicity,&#8221; and how this state is accessible to all, not just the few.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; In ten key lessons&#8212;illustrated by personal anecdotes from his clients&#8212;Lardon teaches readers how to access the zone not only in sports but in all aspects of their lives, by understanding how to:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &#8226; Transform desire into will&lt;BR&gt; &#8226; Channel emotions to victory&lt;BR&gt; &#8226; Trust instincts and keep it simple&lt;BR&gt; &#8226; Conquer fear through acceptance&lt;BR&gt; &#8226; Perform under pressure</default-description>
