A great book on the mental aspects of winning hang gliding.

I had met Rich Pfeiffer when I read this book, but I did not know him. After I read this book, I thought I might know him pretty well. This book is the ultimate book on winning hang gliding competitions. Not particularly the section on the equipment. It was written when the equipment was much less sophisticated than today. But it describes the mental preparation for winning that one must have in order to win consistantly without depending on luck. In a fairly esoteric sport, this is the only book which deals with "Inner Hang gliding". This would be a trite phrase except that for Hang Gliding it is so true. If you want to win, you must go prepared to win and it starts inside your head. This book has been out of print for at least ten years and was probably not printed in great quantities in the first place, directly appealing as it does to only a few thousand people, but it should be considered the book to have for the aspiring hang gliding competitior.
