Think about your favorite sport. How much of success in it is due to physical abilities and how much to mental abilities? It is known that physical abilities are vital for performance, but how we understand and train the psychological aspects is less known. Sport Psychology: A complete introduction provides you with the answers, explaining what you need to know in one place. In its two days, theory and application, the first section defines the concept of personality and covers key psychological characteristics, such as mental toughness, self-confidence, motivation, stress, and character. The second section covers topics such as assessment, skill training, coping techniques, concentration development, and working with coaches and teams. It also includes significant coverage of measurement questionnaires, skills, and pathways for practice. By learning how the mind works and how it affects athletic performance, you will discover what exactly sports psychologists do to improve athletes' psychological abilities and thinking. Sports psychology used to focus merely on performance. Now, the psychologist's role also includes the athlete's well-being, collaboration with coaches and support teams, as well as functioning at an organizational level. Whether you are a student, interested in sports performance as a professional practice, or participate in sports at any level, Sport Psychology: A complete introduction is your guide.
