This book is designed for progressive coaches who are motivated to
consider and potentially adjust their current coaching or training
programs so that they are getting the most out of contemporary
Sport Psychology and Skill Acquisition research. A variety of Sport
Psychology and Skill Acquisition issues are reviewed by two
international experts in the respective fields, Jean Fournier and
Damian Farrow. Based on their applied experiences working in their
respective high performance sport systems in France and Australia
they have identified the gaps between theory and current practice.
In some instances, this gap is because the theory itself is not
definitive, while in other instances the theory challenges
traditional coaching approaches. What makes this book different
from many other texts on Sport Psychology and Skill Acquisition is
that the material is presented in a manner most applicable to
coaches and athletes. The chapters are short and concise, there is
an absence of academic referencing, and numerous practical examples
are provided to illustrate how the theory is applied to practice.
The book is divided into two sections. After an introductory
chapter by both authors, Section one consists of four chapters
focused on Sport Psychology issues presented by Jean Fournier and
then Section two reviews four Skill Acquisition issues presented by
Damian Farrow.
