Feeling states, including emotional experiences, are pervasive to
human functioning. Feeling states deeply influence the individual's
effort, attention, decision making, memory, behavioural responses,
and interpersonal interactions. The sporting environment offers an
ideal setting for the development of research questions and applied
interventions to improve the well-being and well-functioning of the
people involved. This ground-breaking book is the first to offer
cutting-edge knowledge about contemporary theoretical,
methodological, and applied issues with the contributions of
leading researchers and practitioners in the field. Feeling states
in sports are comprehensively covered by adopting an international
and multi-disciplinary perspective. Part I covers most relevant
conceptual frameworks, including emotion-centred and action-centred
approaches, challenge and threat evaluations, an evolutionary
approach to emotions, and the role of passion in the experience of
emotion. Part II focuses on interpersonal aspects related to
emotions and regulation, encompassing social and interpersonal
emotion influence and regulation, social identity and group-based
emotions, and performance experiences in teams. Part III presents
applied indications surrounding emotional intelligence training,
and emotional regulation strategies including imagery, self-talk,
the use of music, mindfulness, motor skills execution under
pressure, self-regulation in endurance sports, and the use of
technology. Finally, Part IV examines issues related to athlete
well-being, including the role of emotions in sport injury,
emotional eating, and mental recovery. Feelings in Sport: Theory,
Research, and Practical Implications for Performance and Well-being
is an essential source for sport psychology practitioners,
researchers, sports coaches, undergraduate and postgraduate
students.
