This book captures the contributions of world-wide experts, based
upon earlier special editions of a peer reviewed sport psychology
journal titled Athletic Insight. Most often sport psychology books
either contain similar chapters across books pertaining to
theoretical concepts or applied practices. On occasion, textbooks
also contain a special topics section placed at the very end of the
compendium with a few contributions regarded as a special topics
issue. The present compilation is built entirely of special topics,
where the focus is to forefront diverse perspectives through three
distinct sections, each with contributions pertaining to research
and practice. Section One is comprised of practical application.
Within Section One the reader will find contributions pertaining to
applied practice with Olympic and professional athletes based upon
the first-hand experiences of elite practitioners from several
continents. The intent through Section One is to propose
strategies, reflecting several national perspectives that applied
practitioners might employ as they enter the field or seek
positions with elite sport organisations in the global sport
community. Section Two reflects contributions about Cultural Sport
Psychology (CSP). CSP is a burgeoning research and practice
trajectory within sport and exercise psychology, launched formally
through a special instalment of Athletic Insight. Most recently the
International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, the peer
reviewed journal for the International Society of Sport Psychology
has also featured a devoted instalment to the topic (Autumn, 2009).
Section Two provides the reader with the most current work on CSP
written by several highly creditable researchers a the forefront of
the trajectory. Section Three is devoted to the intersection of
sport psychology and ethics. Within Section Three the authors
provide their respective views on the topic, carrying from the role
of student practitioners struggling with matters of ethic to
consultants of high-risk Olympic and professional sport teams faced
with the ethical implications they encounter when working in the
field.
