An effective strength and conditioning program underpins the training regime of every successful athlete or sportsperson and it is now widely recognized that psychology plays a significant role in the application of strength and conditioning principles. This is the first book to examine the importance of psychological factors in strength and conditioning and to offer a comprehensive overview of current research, theory and best practice. Written by a team of leading international researchers and practitioners, the book looks at how psychology influences training and performance and how training can influence an individual's psychological well-being. It explores a range of key topics in contemporary sport psychology and athletic training, including: mental skills training behaviour change psychology in professional practice psychological problems, including exercise dependence, eating disorders and steroid use.
