The Athlete's Athlete: A Revolutionary Approach to Sport and Performance

A New Way to Think About Sports

In his groundbreaking book, The Athlete's Athlete, George Leonard introduces a revolutionary approach to sports and performance. He argues that the traditional focus on winning and losing is misguided, and that the true goal of sports should be to develop our physical, mental, and emotional potential.

Leonard draws on his own experiences as a martial artist and athlete to illustrate his points. He shows how the pursuit of excellence can lead to burnout, injury, and even addiction. But he also shows how, when we focus on the process of learning and growing, we can achieve our full potential and experience the joy of sport.

The Four Pillars of Athleticism

Leonard identifies four pillars of athleticism:

  • Physical fitness: This includes the development of strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination.
  • Mental fitness: This includes the development of focus, concentration, and mental toughness.
  • Emotional fitness: This includes the development of self-awareness, self-control, and resilience.
  • Spiritual fitness: This includes the development of a sense of purpose, meaning, and connection.

Leonard argues that all four of these pillars are essential for athletic success. When we develop all of these aspects of ourselves, we become complete athletes and are able to perform at our best.

The Path to Athletic Excellence

Leonard offers a step-by-step guide to help athletes achieve their full potential. He covers everything from setting goals to training to dealing with setbacks. He also provides practical advice on how to improve your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness.
