Psychology in Sport aims to bring sport psychology closer to the
heart of mainstream psychology. Those involved in sport have long
recognised that psychological factors are significant in
determining sports performance, and psychologists now acknowledge
sport as an important aspect of human behaviour and experience.
However, for too long, sport psychology has developed at a distance
from 'mainstream' psychology. This separate development has led to
a situation where both parties, psychology and sport psychology,
don't always understand what the other is really about. John Kremer
and Deirdre Scully take a new and refreshing look at the most
recent sport psychology literature, presenting this information in
a way which will be immediately recognisable to students of
psychology. The chapters are structured around key subject areas
within psychology including clinical, social, cognitive,
developmental and occupational psychology. Each chapter presents a
concise review of contemporary sport research, as well as outlining
the history of sport through this century. The authors show how
this work is directly relevant to developments across the
psychology subdisciplines as a whole, and make suggestions for
future research and practical applications to sport. Written in a
clear and engrossing style, this new approach to psychology in
sport will be of immediate relevance to courses on introductory,
applied and sport psychology, as well as providing a valuable
reference source for general psychological material pertaining to
sport and exercise.
