This comprehensive, multi-authored textbook covers all of the key areas that students new to the field of sport psychology need to know about. Unlike other textbooks, it has a research focus, teaching students not just what they need to know, but how researchers arrived at the conclusions that they need to know about.
Classic topics such as motivation, physical activity and cheating are covered alongside state-of-the-art topics such as mental toughness, burnout, and executive function in athletes.
