Sport and Exercise Psychology: A Critical Introduction, 2nd Edition
The new edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive critical introduction to sport and exercise psychology.
It has been extensively re-written and updated with new material to take account of up-to-date approaches and topics such as neuroscience, motor imagery, ‘grunting’ in tennis, the psychology of penalty shootouts, mindfulness training as a concentration technique, the effects of music on physical activity, and the use of computer games such as WiiFit to increase physical activity/exercise.
Each chapter contains specially designed critical thinking exercises to encourage students to explore the deeper issues as well as an useful list of suggestions for independent research projects by students.
Peak Performance Every Time
Peak performances should not be left to chance. Rather than hoping that you will perform at your best, why not engineer your performance?
Using illustrations and real-world examples from top athletes and business executives, this book focuses on the three main components that underpin performance: confidence, motivation, and focus.
As well as offering practical strategies to help the reader achieve their optimal mindset, it also explains how to coach others to perform to their potential.
