Taking a refreshingly different approach to the subject, this new
textbook uses original case studies of psychological support work
with individual athletes and groups to illustrate the underlying
theory and inform the reader of cutting edge practice in the field.
It addresses 'real world' issues and helps the student understand
the problems and challenges that the sport psychologist faces and
is employed to resolve.
The book begins by exploring the use of case studies as a
professional method for disseminating applied knowledge and
practice in sport psychology. The remaining chapters constitute the
core of the book: the case studies themselves. Each case study
demonstrates scientific rigour in reporting the background
information, initial assessment, intervention and monitoring,
evaluation of the intervention, and also considers consultant
effectiveness through reflective practice. The chapters also
contain summaries and an accompanying set of questions for
students.
Written by a team of experienced practitioners this book shows
how sport psychology actually works in practice. As such it will
prove invaluable to students of sport psychology in both sport and
exercise science and psychology programmes. It will also be an
extremely useful resource for coaches and sports professionals
undergoing training in sport psychology.
