I strongly recommend Key Concepts in Sport Psychology to anyone interested in learning more about the international literature in the discipline. The 37 chapters are highly accessible and provide an overview of the issues that not only define the contemporary field but also will continue to shape the future of sport psychology.
A fantastic resource but not appropriate for the level of study I required the resource for.
The topics addressed map onto the UG level 2-3 curriculum well.
GREAT BOOK FOR NON PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDENT
It doesn't quite match up with the BTEC specification. Although what is included is very good.
This is a great book to provide the students with an up to date brief overview. Not detailed enough to be a core text book on Essential reading though. Good Book, well written
I loved this book for its ease of reference, it is a great resource for dipping into when learning a new topic. It provides a clear overview of the topic without going into too much detail, yet provides suggestions for further reading if required.
A straightforward, easy to read, informative text on the key concepts in sport psychology. Contemporary and relevant for the student moving into the field. Highly recommended.
Will recommend to all my sport and exercise psychology students.
A great read that addresses the key concepts within sport psychology. It offers an abundance of research which can be utilised by students and practitioners alike for use within the applied field and research endeavours.
Excellent book which will provide an informative guide for students who are working in the sporting environment. Great overview of key areas and current referencing.
Brilliant supplemental content for sports psychology (AQA A Level)
This is an excellent text to offer more depth on theories and concepts within Sports Psychology and provide learners with a greater understanding of current psychological theories. The text helps in enforcing knowledge gained and also provides a plethora of references for further reading around any of the chapters covered within the text.
This book provides a good introduction to sports psychology, and enables students to obtain a basic understanding of the key concepts. I will recommend this book to my level 4 students.
I can only recommend this book as supplemental because I don't really see what it offers that is new. It covers a lot of old theory and I feel would benefit from being more targeted at a few key concepts rather than doing a bit of history, a bit of the social stuff, a bit of the cognitive stuff etc.
A good reference of key terms. Which allows HE students to gain a good insight into sports psychology. The range of topics covered is varied and allows for easy reading
Resource tool for assignments
The text provided an excellent synthesis of key topics in sport psychology. The content draws upon leaders in the field both from a research and applied sport psychology perspective.
This covers the main topics I would discuss in seminars. Students will be directed to it via our library or bookshop
concise, cost-effective
