It has long been known that almost all elite athletes use
imagery and that most sport psychologists apply imagery in working
with athletes. But most material on the subject has been, to this
point, relegated to single chapters in books, to journal articles,
or to conference proceedings.
Now "Imagery in Sport" addresses the breadth of what researchers
and practitioners in sport psychology know about the topic, and it
treats each issue in depth, considering current theories and
research on imagery and its application in sport. The reference
also addresses future directions in research and practice for
imagery in sport. In doing so, "Imagery in Sport" provides the most
comprehensive look at the state of imagery and its uses in sport
today. The authors take readers step by step through understanding,
investigating, applying, and advancing imagery in sport. The text
includes the following: -Sample scripts, preperformance
suggestions, and sport-specific and site-specific tips
-Presentation and critical analysis of 10 well-known theoretical
frameworks for understanding imagery
-A full chapter devoted to understanding and successfully using
the available measures of imagery in sport, including how to
administer imagery-ability measures"Imagery in Sport" takes complex
theories and presents them clearly, using examples from everyday
sport contexts. The book helps readers become familiar with the
current knowledge about the topic and learn to view it with a
critical eye. And it provides practicing sport psychologists with
guidelines and strategies for using imagery to help athletes
improve their performances.
