The relationship between sport and exercise psychology and the
realm of professional sport and performance has grown exponentially
in recent years. Elite athletes increasingly see the value in
seeking psychological advice and expertise, while consultants now
work in a wider range of elite performance environments. Psychology
in Professional Sports and the Performing Arts: Challenges and
Strategies is a unique and timely collection that brings together
the experiences and knowledge of a range of applied psychologists
working in these exciting industries. The book begins with a
section outlining the core skills practitioners require in the
field, before chapters discussing individual sports, team sports
and the performing arts. Each author looks at how theoretical
principles can be applied within a particular professional context,
delineating how performers may benefit from working with a
psychologist, as well as the ethical and cultural challenges that
they faced. Assessing the role of applied psychologists across a
truly unique range of activities, from polo to motor racing and ice
hockey to modern dance, Psychology in Professional Sports and the
Performing Arts: Challenges and Strategies offers unrivalled
insights into how sport and exercise psychology can be put into
practice in challenging professional environments. It will appeal
to anyone studying sport and exercise psychology, or working in the
field.
