Think about your favourite sport. Now ask yourself how much of success in that
sport is down to physical skills and how much is down to mental skills?

We all know that physical skills are vital for performance and understand
about training them. We know that psychology is important too, but what people
actually do to understand and train in it is less well known. Sport
Psychology: A complete introduction gives you the answers, explaining
everything you need to know in one place.

Structured in two parts, theory and application, part one defines the idea of
personality and covers essential psychological traits, including mental
toughness, confidence, motivation, stress and character. Part two covers
topics such as assessment, skills training, coping techniques, building
concentration and working with coaches and teams. You will also find
substantial coverage of measurement questionnaires, skills and routes to
practice.

As well as learning about how the mind works and how that has an impact on
sporting performance, you will discover what sport psychologists actually do
to improve a performer's psychological skills and mindset. Sport psychology
used to be simply about performance. Now, the role of the sport psychologist
is more holistic and includes athlete wellbeing, working with coaches and
support teams, and operating at a more organizational level.

Whether you are a student, interested in sport and sport performance as a
professional practice, or involved in sport at any level, Sport Psychology: A
complete introduction is your go-to guide.
