Athletes are naturally exposed to significant psychological
challenges in sports, but do not wait helplessly for the assistance
of sports psychologists or trainers. Instead, they practise one
form or another of self-regulation. Self-talk in Sport explores one
such self-regulatory strategy: self-talk, the inner voice that
accompanies every human being throughout their lives. Over time,
research has revealed many secrets of self-talk in sport, though
many others remain unveiled. This book offers you the opportunity
to discover the multiple identities of our self-talk, how the
"inner coach" serves as a rational counterpart to the irrational
self, and what we need to do to develop our inner voice to reach
its maximum self-regulatory potential. There is a general need for
concrete interventions in sport, exercise, and performance
psychology. In addition, the autonomous functioning of people is a
central aim of psychological interventions that align with positive
psychology and focus on people's strengths rather than weaknesses.
In this volume, researchers and applied practitioners are shown how
they can use self-talk interventions to strengthen people's
rational self-regulation in order to deal with a variety of
situations that apply to both sport and other exercise and
performance contexts. Since self-talk is a tangible result of
cognitive processes and inner experiences that researchers and
applied practitioners can barely access, Self-talk in Sport is a
tool for sports psychologists to understand and interact with
hidden parts within athletes that have a major impact on sport and
exercise experiences and performance. A book demonstrating the
diverse - both rational and irrational identities - of self-talk,
as well as specific interventions to change the inner dialogue of
athletes, is a fundamental piece in the education of sport
scientists.
