The Playmaker on any team makes the right decision at the right time, almost every time. Despite the constraints of time, tactics, and rules, the best players combine their vision and skills with razor-sharp decision accuracy for an unstoppable competitive advantage.

As a follow-up to The Playmaker’s Advantage , their bestselling guide for athletes, coaches, and parents, Daniel Peterson and Dr. Leonard Zaichkowsky now focus on the split-second decision-making process that produces both clutch plays and mental mistakes.

Whether you are a coach who needs to sharpen your team’s decisions under pressure or a parent who is trying to understand your young superstar’s mental game or even a fan who has yelled at the TV wondering why your team breaks your heart, The Playmaker’s Decisions combines science and stories to shed light on the black box of athlete cognition.
