Praise for Matt Fitzgerald's How Bad Do You Want It? "Fitzgerald dives into the research behind [elite] coping skills and highlights the top athletes who use them. Anyone, whether pro or everyday exercisers, can use these tactics to push further." - Men's Journal "The only book that goes beyond the standard mindfulness training, which focuses primarily on visualization, and gets at the heart of how champion endurance athletes achieve greatness." -- Outside "The races make it a fun read, and the psychology is thought-provoking." - Runner's World "Fitzgerald digs into the very soul of his athletes to uncover innate traits and learned behaviors. . . . This is a fantastic group of stories being told with literary skill far beyond most sports books. . . ." -- Oregon Distance Runner "Fitzgerald has done an exemplary job in making physiology and psychology understandable. . . . Creative and entertaining. . . . The subject comes alive through charismatic writing." -- Canadian Running "The mind-over-matter guide to racing. Fitzgerald's book dissects pivotal races and features top endurance athletes . . . illustrating how elite athletes rally their mental strength--and amateur athletes can, too." -- Austin-American Statesman "Imagine you could get into the mind of an elite athlete and use their skills to improve your sporting potential. That's the premise of Matt Fitzgerald's How Bad Do You Want It? " -- Triathlon Magazine Canada " How Bad Do You Want It? perfectly introduces the exciting new understanding emerging in the world of sports psychology and exercise physiology. . . . A superb book." -- Colorado Runner "Fitzgerald is a skilled writer and the drama and excitement of the various races really jump off the pages. . . . Thrilling." -- Run Oregon, Praise for The Comeback Quotient "When the worst has happened, the best is next. The Comeback Quotient by Matt Fitzgerald provides elite-tested mental strategies for loving the comeback more than hating the setback." --Jim Afremow, PhD, author of The Champion's Mind "Fitzgerald has been writing about the psychology of endurance performance for more than a decade and is one of the pioneers in terms of trying to take this body of research out of the laboratory and into the field for everyone to try." --Runner's World "From the master of the mental game in endurance sports, a fresh look at what it takes to bounce back from adversity. Fitzgerald weaves together science and practical advice with his usual deft storytelling." --Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance "Matt Fitzgerald has a winner in The Comeback Quotient. You will be on the edge of your seat as he tells the inspiring comeback stories from some of the most interesting individuals on the face of the earth, realizing by the end that along the way you have been given a blueprint to orchestrate a few comebacks of your own." --Ben Rosario, Head Coach, HOKA ONE ONE NAZ Elite

- 9***k (1225)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately the seller decided to ship the item in a padded envelope. An inexpensive stiff cardboard envelope would have been far more adequate. Item arrived with unsightly creases almost everywhere, very different from the ad picture. Item condition was rated very good. I would rate what arrived as fair. Given the result, the eBay GSP shipping fee of US $21.91 is inadequate but in my opinion that is the seller's fault. Not seeking a refund. Definitely not recommended.Tragedy September 11 2001 Special Memorial Edition, Editorial Staff, NYC Pub. (#226371919134)
