Product Description
The days of smoke filled rooms, whiskey, cheeseburgers and late nights are gone. The new-school poker players are younger, leaner, and more focused on improving their physical and mental health and they re crushing the games. Daniel Negreanu A NEW ERA OF POKER IS DAWNING... As a poker player, you have a great deal in common with today's professional athletes: You've dedicated serious time to learning the fundamentals; you practice regularly; you strive to improve by analyzing every move; you use psychology to hone your winning edge and, if you don't take care of yourself both mentally and physically, you'll lose your winning edge... CAN YOU COMPETE WITH THE BEST? Learning to treat poker like the competitive endeavor it is and yourself like the sportsperson you are will give you the best chance at success every time you play. Packed with solid research and feedback from top pros, PEAK PERFORMANCE POKER will show you how to prepare your body and your mind to achieve optimal results during that next big tournament or cash game. Being in peak physical condition sharpens every aspect of your play, whereas poor diet and neglect of your emotional life undermine your game at every turn. Just ask Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and the other top pros featured in this book, all of whom understand crucial aspects of PEAK PERFORMANCE POKER, including: - Flow what it means to top athletes and why it's equally important to you - Chips on the table, not on your plate eating right to improve your game - Taking it easy how essential rest and recovery really are - Getting psyched applying sports psychology to help you win - Time management the benefits of balancing poker with the rest of your life The modern poker table is the domain of smart, fit, healthy competitors; let PEAK PERFORMANCE POKER seat you with the best of them.

Much MORE than just a poker book! August 3, 2010
Kay L. Rooff Steffen (Muscatine, IA United States)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
With chapters such as: "Nutrition," "Physical Activity and Exercise,"and "Rest and Recovery," one might think this book was mistitled. Not so. Not by a long shot! Steffen deals with the growing poker population--at the tables and online--in a whole new (and much needed) way! His crux is "The Poker Lifestyle," and "Health and Poker," two more chapters in this targeted lifestyle book.
As he deals with "Blasting through Mental Barriers," "Goal Setting," "Time Management" and sports psychology, Steffen shows incredible respect for poker players--almost like athletes. Even though his interviews include world famous poker greats like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth and David "The Maven" Chicotsky, among others, Steffen stays true to his mind-body focus. The concepts in Peak Performance Poker can--and will--be applied to any profession. You don't have to sit at a table or computer with cards in front of you to benefit by his knowledge and the advice he shares in this book.
"Each step on your journey is significant," Steffen writes. "Each set, each rep, each meal, each day matters." This book matters--probably more than many of the other books in this genre that are stuck in the genre. Peak Performance Poker will be big. Steffen will continue to help people succeed, I have no doubt.
