P.S. Hi Jack! I'm hoping that you can help me start the preface I sent with a bang and hook the reader about the importance of sports psychology and the mental game for success in sports. This is what I deleted due to the switch from "Gold Medal Mind" to "The Champion's Mind":

The Olympic Games are the biggest and most watched sporting event in the world. The Olympic medal structuregold, silver, and bronzeprovides the athlete, the press and those that watch this event a tangible record of great personal and team success for each top participant in the Summer and Winter Games. 
Medals are awarded as well across other diverse disciplines for outstanding accomplishments. For example, the Nobel Prize for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and working for peace. As defined, a champion is someone who has overcome great odds to reach the pinnacle of his or her profession.
Gold medals arent really made of gold. Theyre made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts, said Dan Gable, one of the most renowned wrestlersand coachesever. Gable won a gold medal at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. No single point was scored against him in six matches. As the University of Iowas wrestling coach, Gable compiled a record of 355-21-5, including 15 NCAA Championships.
