Mehdi at Strong Lifts posted a book list not too long and I took note of the mental training books. Mastery was not weight lifting specific, so I picked it up to see what it had to say about mentally preparing yourself for training that I [...]
If my contract extension does not solidify next week, then I will have to look for a new job.
In preparation, I am reading up on Spring. If my contact does solidify, I will finally start in on Options. Either way, I plan on doing intensive studying for a while.

I have been reviewing my degree requirements. Twelve classes to go if my composition class at Carnegie Mellon will transfer as the composition class at UTD.
