Sports officials (umpires, referees, judges) play a vital role in
every sport, and sports governing bodies, fans, and players now
expect officials to maintain higher professional standards than
ever before. In this ground-breaking book, a team of leading
international sport scientists and top level officials have come
together to examine, for the first time, the science and practice
of officiating in sport, helping us to better understand the
skills, techniques and physical requirements of successful
refereeing. The book covers every key component of the official's
role, including: Training and career development Fitness and
physical preparation Visual processing Judgement and
decision-making Communication and game management Psychological
demands and skills Using technology Performance evaluation
Researching and studying officials in sport Top-level officials or
officiating managers contribute in the 'Official's Call' sections,
reflecting on their experiences in real in-game situations across a
wide range of international sports, and on how a better
understanding of science and technique can help improve
professional practice. No other book has attempted to combine
leading edge contemporary sport science with the realities of match
officiating in this way, and therefore this book is vital reading
for any advanced student of sport science, sport coaching or sport
development, or any practising official or sports administrator
looking to raise their professional standards.

Judgment, Decision-Making and Success in Sport presents a thorough
overview and assessment of the study of Judgment and
Decision-Making (JDM) in sports psychology, and represents an
important source of information for those interested in the
possible causes and reasons for success and failure in sport. * The
only book to apply the principles of JDM to sport * Applies theory
to practice by looking at problems of athletes, coaches, and
referees and providing recommendations for dealing with them *
Offers an overview of current JDM research * Useful for
psychologists, physical education teachers, sports scientists, and
researchers in this field
This volume investigates the implications of how our brain directs
our movements on decision making. An extensive body of knowledge in
chapters from international experts is presented as well as
integrative group reports discussing new directions for future
research.
The understanding of how people make decisions is of central
interest to experts working in fields such as psychology,
economics, movement science, cognitive neuroscience,
neuroinformatics, robotics, and sport science. For the first time
the current volume provides a multidisciplinary overview of how
action and cognition are integrated in the planning of and
decisions about action.
* Offers intense, focused, and genuine interdisciplinary
perspective
* Conveys state-of-the-art and outlines future research directions
on the hot topic of mind and motion (or embodied cognition)
* Includes contributions from psychologists, neuroscientists,
movement scientists, economists, and others
Judgment, Decision-Making, and Embodied Choices introduces a new
concept of embodied choices which take sensorimotor experiences
into account when limited time and resources forces a person to
make a quick decision. This book combines areas of cognitive
psychology and movement science, presenting an integrative approach
to understanding human functioning in everyday scenarios. This is
the first book focusing on the role of the gut as a second brain,
introducing the link to risky behavior. The book's author engages
readers by providing real-life experiences and scenarios connecting
theory to practice.
This book integrates findings from across domains in performance
psychology to focus on core research on what influences peak and
non-peak performance. The book explores basic and applied research
identifying cognition-action interactions, perception-cognition
interactions, emotion-cognition interactions, and perception-action
interactions. The book explores performance in sports, music, and
the arts both for individuals and teams/groups, looking at the
influence of cognition, perception, personality, motivation and
drive, attention, stress, coaching, and age. This comprehensive
work includes contributions from the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and
Australia.
Sport and Exercise Psychology Research: From Theory to Practice
provides a comprehensive summary of new research in sport and
exercise psychology from worldwide researchers. Encompassing
theory, research, and applications, the book is split into several
themed sections. Section 1 discusses basic antecedents to
performance including fitness, practice, emotion, team dynamics,
and more. Section 2 identifies factors influencing individual
performance. Section 3 discusses applied sport psychology for
athletes and coaches, and section 4 includes approaches from
exercise psychology on motivation and well-being. The book includes
a mix of award winning researchers from the European Sport
Psychology Association, along with top researchers from the U.S. to
bring an international overview to sport psychology.
There has been considerable debate on sport psychology about the
status and the function of cognition and action in sport. This
debate is very relevant since there was a refinement of the
different positions, and there were several attempts to integrate
apparently contrasting perspectives. A main goal of this book is to
put the links between cognition, perception and action into the
discussion both oriented towards theory and practice, and thus,
cast a new look on cognition and action in sport. The book is
organised in three sections. Section I discusses the organisation
of action attending to its dynamics and complexity. It shows how
multiple levels of complexity are involved in performance and
learning. Section II discusses not only what is knowledge, but also
how athletes use it during performance. Section III presents
different perspectives about judgement and decision-making as well
as applications to training.
Pflegeeinrichtungen mssen sich aufgrund zunehmenden Kostendrucks,
verschrfenden Wettbewerbs und steigenden Qualittsanforderungen
strategisch neu im Markt ausrichten, um langfristig wirtschaftlich
erfolgreich zu sein. Das Buch geht der Frage nach, ob das
Managementsystem der Balanced Scorecard dazu geeignet ist, eine auf
Grundlage der oben genannten Rahmenbedingungen formulierte
Unternehmensstrategie zu implementieren, um somit den
Herausforderungen des Marktes fr die Zukunft gewachsen zu sein.
Hierzu stellt der Autor zunchst das Prinzip und die Grundstruktur
der BSC als Managementsystem vor, bevor er sich mit der Thematik
der Strategiefindung und dem Ablauf strategischer Aktionen befasst.
Darauf aufbauend widment er sich der Erstellung und praktischen
Anwendung einer BSC, in dem er am Beispiel einer fiktiven
Altenpflegeinrichtung und deren Mission, Vision und Strategie
untersucht, ob die BSC als Instrument zur Umsetzung einer Strategie
sinnvoll und zielfhrend ist. Das Buch richtet sich an
Entscheidungstrger des Sozial- und Gesundheitswesens und ihrer
Verbnde, Studenten und Personen, die sich mit der Implementierung
einer Strategie im Unternehmen beschftigen.
