Learn moreTo perform better in any situation—in your career, hobbies, relationships, or in any facet of your life—it is critical to develop psychological skills, which, just like physical abilities, can be taught, learned, and practiced. Both as individuals and as groups, we can tone these psychological skills and use them to heighten awareness, foster talents and technical abilities, and reach peak performance. Mental preparedness and psychological awareness are the keys to thriving in any environment.
Few understand the importance of psychological skills better than the internationally recognized professor Michael Bar-Eli. As both a sports and organizational psychologist for more than 35 years, Bar-Eli has not only researched the science of performance but has also worked directly with elite athletes, coaches, and teams to help them improve their success on the court or field. Boost! takes the lessons he's learned from sports psychology and translates them for leaders and managers at any stage in their career. With prescriptive advice, Bar-Eli illustrates how anyone can apply these lessons to better support and inspire co-workers and employees and create a sustainable, successful working environment and business.
Michael Bar-Eli is a Professor and Chair of the Business Administration Department and the Nat Holman Chair in Sports Research at the Faculty of Business and Management, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva. He also heads the Sport Management program at the Wingate Academic College. Bar-Eli has consulted for elite athletic teams, including the Israeli and German national basketball teams, the Israeli national water polo team, several Israeli male and female soccer and basketball teams, and Israeli Olympic teams, along with prominent organizations such as the Israeli Defense Forces, where he was the head organizational psychologist of both the Israeli Artillery Corps and the Combat Fitness Center.
