Bedford, UK (PRWeb) January 8, 2007 -- A new book shows sports people and athletes how to achieve peak performance by actually doing less.

Roy Palmer wrote his book, 'Zone Mind, Zone Body' after spending over ten years developing his techniques and applying them to his own sports of running and the martial arts. He also works with sportsmen and women in many other activities and has proved that his theories really do work.

"It's all about getting in the Zone," says Roy. "That's when everything seems to come together with no real effort, a perfect golf shot, or a personal best run, for example. Lots of athletes have experienced the Zone but it's always random and unpredictable and for most, completely unobtainable."

Roy's training methods show how to identify and then take control of previously hidden factors that influence performance; Roy calls it developing 'intelligence in action'. The training is based on the world renowned Alexander Technique of which Roy is an expert teacher and coach.

The book uses actual accounts from athletes who have experienced the Zone and explores vital clues as to what this mysterious state is. More importantly it explains how it can be achieved more often, using practical, proven techniques.

Zone Mind, Zone Body is available worldwide from Amazon.
