Psychology in Sport aims to bring sport psychology closer to the heart of mainstream psychology. John Kremer and Deirdre Scully take a new and refreshing look at the most recent sport psychology literature, presenting this information in a way which will be immediately recognisable to students of psychology. Written in a clear and engrossing style, this new approach to Psychology in sport will be of immediate relevance to courses on introductory, applied and sport psychology, as well as providing a valuable reference source for general psychological material pertaining to sport and exercise.
Provides an overview of sport psychology. The book is structured around key subject areas within psychology with chapters devoted to separate sub-disciplines. Each chapter presents a review of sports research, and shows how this work sits alongside developments across the subdisciplines as a whole.
