"The Mental Athlete" ( http://books.google.com/books?id=OVqMC9Zs3cAC&lpg=PP1... ) though seems to be closer to your intentions (I can't recommend it though as I haven't read it yet, but FWIW all books I read from this publisher turned out to be excellent and superficial skimming of it's google books page seems to confirm that).
Wow, very interesting. Thanks for sharing. May I ask what you exactly do or did? Mental trainer?
I'll try to get my hands on "In Pursuit of Excellence".
What I also found is "10-Minute Toughness: The Mental Training Program for Winning Before the Game Begins". I'll report on this as soon as I finished reading it.
No, I am not a mental trainer. I am a software developer. It's just that I once studied sports science and I am still very interested in anything coming from that field... especially considering that it is sometimes surprisingly applicable in my current work.
edit: some of the "performance psychology" things I learned helped me passing some of the more hairy tests during for my b.sc. in bioinformatics
