Sport and Exercise Psychology: The Key Concepts

Sport Psychology is no longer just an academic subject: it is discipline studied and applied by all those associated with sports, whether athletes, coaches, journalists or fans. Yet, up until now, there has been no introductory guide to its vocabulary, its central theories, its important research findings and its utility to sports.

With more than 150 entries, Sport Psychology - The Key Concepts fills the gap. It is the most authoritative, wide-ranging and up-to-date guide of its kind, presenting an accessible reference to all the significant terms used in sport psychology and their contemporary relevance.
