Summary

Ever since the springboks won the Rugby World Cup in 1995, South Africans have been passionate about the tournament that is the pinnacle of sporting achievement.
Nick Mallett, who coached the Boks at the 1999 World Cup, has become a household name for his incisive and forthright commentary and analysis. Join him as he takes you into the beating heart of the tournament, which kicks off in Paris in September. He tackles the following key questions:
•How strong are the Boks going into the RWC?
•Who are the favourites to win, and why?
•How does one 'play' the referee – both on and off the field?
•What are playing conditions like in France, where Mallett coached for a decade?
•Can Rassie Erasmus do it again and pull off a double win?
Filled with keen insights, opinions and anecdotes of games past, this is a book every fan should read.
Available since: 08/03/2023.
Print length: 232 pages.

    What sets the very best footballers apart from the rest?
It's not about ability but about being able to perform at your peak level consistently.
You train your ability regularly, but do you leave your form down to 'luck' and simply hope you have a good game?
Thanks to developments in our understanding of how the brain works, you can now effectively train to improve your form by conditioning your thoughts and behaviour in all aspects of your life. This engages the parts of the brain that enable you to perform consistently on the football pitch.
Using Mark's proven BECOME method, you can stop relying on luck, and easily and effectively:

- Raise your confidence and self-belief
- Sharpen your motivation and drive
- Make better decisions, more quickly
- Perform consistently throughout the season
- Bring tackling, passing, shooting and every part of your game to a whole new level
It's time to get the edge. It's time to Use Your Brain and Raise Your Game.
