Synopsis

This work is aimed as a course text at the undergraduate level. It is the first sport psychology book that offers a comprehensive and indepth treatment of social psychology as it pertains to sport settings. 20 chapters are divided into five parts: relationships in sport, coaching leadership, motivational climates, social and cognitive processes and the athlete in the sports environment. Each chapter features a summary which emphasises the key points and a discussion to engage the class. Written by UK based authors from Loughborough University, it offers the reader the opportunity to consider topics individually and outside of a course setting.

Media Reviews
This is by far the finest book on the subject in the field thus far in which both empirical research and practical hands-on experience make up the bulk of each chapter. This is the definitive resource for the most contemporary and comprehensive view of social psychology in a sport setting.
