This book is brilliant!! Not only does it review the latest theories but it compares them and it's not written in all that pyschobabbel - it's in decent language. For a beginner or an expert this book is one of the best around, it helped me enormously and I ended up with an A for my Sport Studies A-Level. It's a lot better than anything else around.

Great Book for the Novice
27 Aug 2000
By Henry Sze
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am a guy that play a lot of basketball and do a lot of coaching. I have had no psychology background of any and I just want to know more about psychology as a habit. It is a paperback and with just 170 pages. It includes the basic concepts and theories of sport psychology that you will find very helpful. The depth of it is just what a novice needs. It helped me to plan my coaching lesson with teenagers of bad conduct. Besides, I have found even myself has gained a lot of wisdom in planning my own sporting performance. I think it is a must for a coach, in particular those who has never read anything about sport psychology.
