[Mailin Gupta · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Sports Slump Busting" is an interesting and helpful book. I would definitely recommend this book to athletes and people who are struggling in something and need advice. This book was very enjoyable for me because I was in a rough spot with my sport and I needed something to help me understand what I needed to do to get back to where I was. My only complaint is that it is a slightly "dry" read, by "dry" I mean it is a little boring at times. It gives you brilliant strategies and mind sets to go into competitions with. You can also apply these strategies to your daily life. This book evaluates how mentally fit you are, gives you strategies, and boosts your self confidence. "Sports Slump Busting" can help so much in sports and gives amazing strategies to tackle tough projects with.
