This book offers a student-friendly introduction to the discipline
of sport psychology. All the key psychological issues in sport are
explored, and difficult questions are raised: are athletes born or
made? Does playing sport affect personality? What effect do
cultural beliefs have on personal sporting development? Matt Jarvis
has substantially revised and expanded his original coverage of the
subject from the highly successful first edition (Sport Psychology
(1999) in the Routledge Modular Psychology series). Here he
provides a succinct but comprehensive account of major theory and
research in sport psychology, whilst maintaining the readable style
and student-centred approach which made the previous book so
successful. Key issues covered include: Personality and sport
Attitudes to sport Aggression Social factors affecting performance
Arousal and anxiety Motivation and skill acquisition. There is an
emphasis not merely on learning about sport psychology, but also on
developing critical and creative thinking. In addition, the book
includes chapters on conducting research and writing essays in
sport psychology, as well as reflective exercises throughout the
text.
