-Mackey Sasser
Former catcher for NY Mets
"this is your brain on sports is a must read for athletes, their parents and coaches, as well as for all psychotherapists and performance experts. in case you didn't know it, the yips has a clearly explainable relationship to past trauma. all one has to do is take a detailed history of the life of an athlete from his/her earliest childhood, relate that to his/her history of physical injuries and throw in a dollop of shame and criticism from parents and coaches and the reason for the yips emerges with crystal clarity. these facts are clearly illustrated in this compelling, fascinating and ground-breaking book by drs. grand and goldberg. brain-based principles of body-based memory, neurosensitization and cue-related anxiety from the trauma literature clearly prove that the yips come from post-traumatic stress syndrome. and brainspotting has shown to be dramatically effective in mitigating, and even healing, this vexing syndrome."
