Format:Paperback
I am an Undergraduate student at Leeds Met University, studying Sport & Exercise Science. Sport Psychology is one of my main topics. I have the other key texts; Weinberg and Gill. I bought them two first. After finally investing in this book I realized that I need not have bothered with the first two as this book is by far superior to them. It covers the same and much more than the other books and is written in a very understandable way. It gives examples of concepts and applications throughout the book and brilliant summaries towards at the end of each chapter along with review questions. I promise anyone studying Sport psychology at Under Grad level that this book will be an invaluable source. But it NOW!
Format:Paperback
This is a great book regardless of your needs and level in sport. The information provided has depth of knowledge to explain even the more problematic concepts of sports psychology but yet is easy to comprehend. It can be used as a research tool, an aid to improving your own sport 6 Days To A Champions Mindset and is a fantastic tool for all sports coaches. Each chapter begins with brief 'concept' and 'application' notes before delving into the heart of each topic. There are plenty of real life sporting examples, which brings it 'closer to home', so to speak. Buy it.
