Reviews
Aidan Moran has produced an outstanding resource on concentration and sport performance. Moran's clear writing style manages to combine the detail and precision necessary for a scientific work with the accessibility of a professional guidebook. This text is designed to be a standard on the bookshelf of any serious student, academic, or practitioner interested in concentration and human performance. The Psychology of Concentration in Sport Performers will likely stand as a primary resource to researchers and practitioners for years to come. It could be used as a graduate level text. Even more so, it is a valuable reference book for any psychologist or educated professional concerned with the process of concentration in human performance. -
