Sport Psychology: A Complete Introduction is designed to give you everything you need to succeed, all in one place. It covers the key areas that students are expected to be confident in, outlining the basics in clear, jargon-free English and providing added-value features like summaries of key experiments and even lists of questions you might be asked in your seminar or exam. The book uses a structure that mirrors the way sports psychology is taught on many university courses, and is split into theory and application. Chapters in the first part include coverage of essential personality traits, including mental toughness, confidence, motivation and character. The chapters on applied sports psychology cover topics such as assessment, working with groups, skills training, coping techniques and working with coaches and children. There is also substantial coverage of measurement questionnaires, skills and routes to practice. Sport Psychology employs the 'Breakthrough Method' to help you advance quickly at any subject, whether you're studying for an exam or just for your own interest. The Breakthrough Method is designed to overcome typical problems you'll face as learn new concepts and skills. - Problem: "I find it difficult to remember what I've read."; Solution: this book includes end-of-chapter summaries and questions to test your understanding. - Problem: "Lots of introductory books turn out to cover totally different topics than my course."; Solution: this book is written by a university lecturer who understands what students are expected to know. Review: This is a godsend for any student of Sport Psychology!!!! - As a Sport Psychology major at National University (earning my BA in Sport Psychology on July 2018) this book is a godsend. Really easy to understand and read. Great source material here for your papers. And is basically a great introduction/quick review to the field of Sport Psychology. Pick this up if you are studying Sport Psychology, or any other form of Psychology and/or Kinesiology. Great for Students, Athletes and anyone trying to expand their minds. A+ Review: Well written book - This book was used to supplement a college class that did not have a textbook. The book used psychology terms along with layman’s language that worked well with the slides provided by the lecturer.

Like so far. The print is small
This is a good read. More technical read. The print is small but I have good reading glasses. Delves into psy theories. But expect it will have practical tools mental later in the read. It’s a little early to eval but will read all. Thanks

Excelente libro
El libro está enfocado a los psicólogos del deporte, una rama completamente nueva para mí. Además, de que percibo que solo se extiende a unos países. Lo cual es una verdadera lástima. todos necesitamos de ayuda y consejos de profesionales. El libro es muy interesante en todos los aspectos, desde la organización y estructura, pasando por el contenido, las actividades y la reflexión en cada capítulo, hasta la buena cantidad de referencias. Es el segundo libro que leo sobre esta rama y me ha p dearecido esencial, en otras palabras, es una introducción bien planeada y que puede captar el interés no solo de psicólogos y deportistas profesionales, sino incluso de aquellos que como en mi caso, hacemos ejercicio por diversas razones, pero no nos dedicamos de forma profesional.
