5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive yet readable textbook for sports psychology, 28 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology: Study Guide to 2r.e (Paperback)
I was looking to gain an understanding of the often referred to concept of sports psychology, in an effort to improve my rugby. I found this book was ideal in that it was comprehensive while remaining highly readable. It also has a good visual appearance, which makes you want to read it. Weinberg and Gould have the ability to describe some complex ideas and principles simply and clearly. They avoid the trap of making the subject seem dry and boring and manage to give the subject a vitality of its own. The whole layout of the book breaks the subject down into bite-size pieces. I found I was able to dip quite easily into sections that interested me without feeling lost because I had not read the previous chapter. The use of photographs and diagrams is also well done, enhancing the text and aiding understanding rather than being added just for show. The use of case studies and anecdotes gave me a greater insight into the idea that was being explained. Having read a number of other texts that cover the same sort of ground as this one, I can say this book should be considered the standard by which to judge the others by.

5.0 out of 5 stars No jargon - just straight forward and readable. Enjoy!, 12 Dec 2000
This review is from: Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology (Hardcover)
This is my first year studying Psychology and this book is the most straightforward and easy to read psychology book I have found. It covers a wide variety of topics and research in the area - all in a way that will make you say "oh, I get it". A great book for those studying or for someone who is just interested in the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, 8 Mar 2007
This review is from: Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book for either an introduction to sport psychology or even at a higher level. I have used this book many times for assignments and it has been extremely good book to use. This is a must for any university/college student studying sports psychology.
