| book description |
This new fourth edition remains the only textbook in the field which provides a detailed overview of key theories, concepts and findings within the discipline of sport psychology, as well as a critical perspective that examines and challenges these core foundations. Fully revised and updated, the new edition covers topics affecting both participation and performance in sport, including motivation, anxiety, emotional coping, concentration, mental imagery, expertise, and team cohesion. In addition, the book includes a range of helpful features that bring the science to life, including critical thinking exercises, suggestions for student projects, boxes highlighting key advances in theory or practice, and end-of-chapter summaries. The final chapter examines some new horizons in sport psychology, including embodied cognition, and a comprehensive glossary is also included. Sport is played with the body but often won in the mind; that is the theory. A Critical Introduction to Sport Psychology is the definitive textbook for anyone wishing to engage critically with this fascinating idea.
