Positive psychology (PP) is a fast-developing area of research that
emphasises personal growth and the positive qualities of life. This
is the first book to apply the principles and practice of PP to
sport and physical activity. In attempting to help people enjoy
sport, sport psychology has paradoxically often focused on topics
such as anxiety, stress and burnout. By contrast, this
reader-friendly introduction to PP shows how it can improve
sporting performance while also enhancing physical and mental
well-being. Demonstrating the practical relevance of PP for all
those who participate in sport and physical activity at any level,
it covers a variety of topics including: passion, enjoyment and
flow positive pedagogy and appreciative inquiry for sport leaders,
coaches and teachers gratitude, mindfulness, optimism and hope
positive psychology coaching for sport leaders and practitioners
character strengths, growth mindset and resilience. With expert
contributors from around the globe, real-life case studies,
practical strategies and suggestions for future research in every
chapter, this book is inspirational reading for all students,
coaches, researchers and practitioners with an interest in sport
and exercise psychology, mental health and well-being.
