Christmas has been a busy time in terms of the national press. Managing Director, Sam Kotadia completed a series of radio interviews. These included Talk Sport radion, West Midlands, BBC London, and for good measure, Melborne SENtral Radio. The interviewer in Australia, played at Sam’s first club; Colchester United FC….What a coincidence!!! The radio interviews focused on the Mindcard Sport decks, and how athletes use them to get a winning edge in their sport.

What a thoroughly enjoyable session. We delivered a session for the sixth formers at City Academy Bristol on how to prepare for exams. With their January exams looming, Claire Stewart (Assistant Principle) felt it appropriate to get the group ready for the challenge. The session was developed from our Mentally prepare for exams card deck, and it started with myself tlaking about my top-ten tips. We then broke out into groups to allow all the students to ”create their own” positive reminders, and short-list their favourite strategies from the card-deck. Take a peek at some of the exam-preparation tips here.
Fingers cross they all walk away with pleasing grades!

In midst of a global recession, and in the advent of the digital-age, the Book-trade has had to weather an almighty storm. Will the book survive? Is undoubtedly the question on many publisher’s minds. Although most commentators are particularly bearish on the book’s future, I adopt a slightly different stance. Here is my rationale behind the immortal position of the book:
- Books are expression of our social-identity and we enjoy displaying this in public and private space.
- The physical experience of reading a book will never be completely replicated by Electronic readers.
- Some argue humans have an intrinsic desire to collect
- Despite the fast rise of downloadable music the CD is still bought by many retailers. Remembering that the user-experience is purely auditory, unlike the book which is involves a tactile, and sometimes an olfactory experience.
The future of the book still remains clouded, but I certainly have hope.

Due to the excellent response after exhibiting at the London Book Fair, I booked myself on a flight to attend the New York Book Fair. What an amazing City……I can imagine it being a fantastic place live. The trip was a lot of fun, The Meat-packing district was a highlight. I would recommend visiting this place, even if it just involves a drink in their terrace-bar which scans the Manhattan sky line www.hotelgansevoort.com.
I will hopefully be back there soon!

This was our first international Book Fair. After the panic of getting the stand ready and looking acceptable, we were all pleasantly surprised by the positive International feedback on our Mindcard range. Hopefully we can leverage this momentum and move forwards with an eye to travel to the Frankfurt Book Fair in October. Check out our psychology card range at www.Mindcards.com.

Mindsport Ltd wants to encourage everyone we work with; either through seminars, one-2-one consultancy, or through the distribution of our publications, that we can control how we feel on a day-to-day basis. Often controlling our minds to think positively is not always easy, but certainly possible. As long as there is possibility their will always be an element of choice. Choose to make skilful decisions in your best interest, and levels of confidence and autonomy in life will rise. Start by generating internal positive pictures, dialogue, and feelings, and your behaviour will benefit.
