Product Description
The use of case studies is a well-established and effective learning method in business, law, and medical school, but its use is new to the field of sport psychology. As the practice of sport psychology requires analysis of problems and decision making on a daily basis, the cases presented afford students the opportunity to think critically about practical situations and generate solutions to issues and problems. Rotella's new text offers realistic situations to encourage the process of contemplation issues, posing and answering relevant questions, discussing alternatives, and applying strategies. The cases are easily incorporated into class discussion and encourage relating theory to practice. Questions at the end of each case can be used to spur and provide direction to discussion. ...

Product Description
Aerobic exercise refers to exercise that involves or improves oxygen consumption by the body. Aerobic means 'with oxygen', and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic or energy-generating process. Many types of exercise are aerobic, and by definition are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time. To obtain the best results, an aerobic exercise session involves a warming up period, followed by at least 20 minutes of moderate to intense exercise involving large muscle groups, and a cooling down period at the end. This new and important book gathers the latest research from around the globe in the study of aerobic exercise and athletic performance with a focus on such topics as: the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise, physical exercise in Parkinson's disease, physical activity and women, aerobic exercise capacity and pulmonary function, aerobic exercise with chronic kidney disease, biomechanics of martial arts and combative sports, and others. ...

Product Description
The term sports injury, in the broadest sense, refers to the kinds of injuries that most commonly occur during sports or exercise. Some sports injuries result from accidents; others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning, or insufficient warm-up and stretching. Although virtually any part of your body can be injured during sports or exercise, the term is usually reserved for injuries that involve the musculoskeletal system, which includes the muscles, bones, and associated tissues like cartilage. In recent years, increasing numbers of people of all ages have been heeding their health professionals' advice to get active for all of the health benefits exercise has to offer. But for some people, particularly those who overdo or who don't properly train or warm up, these benefits can come at a price. Fortunately, most sports injuries can be treated effectively, and most people who suffer injuries can return to a satisfying level of physical activity after an injury. Even better, many sports injuries can be prevented if people take the proper precautions.This book discusses some of the most common injuries and their treatment and answers frequently asked questions about sports injuries and injury prevention. ...

Product Description

We marvel at the steely nerves, acute concentration, and flawless execution exhibited on the 18th green, at the free-throw line, in the starting blocks, and on the balance beam. While state-of-the-art training regimens have extended athletes' physical boundaries, more and more coaches are realizing the importance of sport psychology in taking athletic performance to new levels. Tomorrow's record-breaking accomplishments will not be the result of athletes' training harder physically, but of athletes' training smarter mentally.

Sport Psychology for Coaches provides information that coaches need to help athletes build mental toughness and achieve excellence—in sport and in life. As a coach, you'll gain a big-picture perspective on the mental side of sport by examining how athletes act, think, and feel when they practice and compete. You'll learn to use such mental tools as goal setting, imagery, relaxation, energization, and self-talk to help your athletes build mental training programs. You'll also see how assisting your athletes in developing mental skills such as motivation, energy management, focus, stress management, and self-confidence leads to increased enjoyment, improved life skills, and enhanced performance. And you'll discover how to put it all together into mental plans and mental skills training programs that allow your athletes to attain and maintain a mind-set that fosters peak performance.

The easy-to-follow format of the text includes learning objectives that introduce each chapter, sidebars illustrating sport-specific applications of key concepts and principles, chapter summaries organized by content and sequence, key terms, chapter review questions, a comprehensive glossary, and other useful resources to help readers implement mental training programs for athletes.

Written primarily for high school coaches, Sport Psychology for Coaches is a practical, easy-to-use resource reflecting the two authors' combined 45 years of teaching, coaching, researching, and consulting experience. It reflects principles that are not only consistent with the latest theory and research, but have stood the test of time and worked for coaches and athletes in all sports at all levels. You'll come away from Sport Psychology for Coaches with a greater understanding and appreciation for sport psychology and the practical knowledge you need to put it to work for you and your athletes.

Sport Psychology for Coaches serves as the text for the American Sport Education Program Silver Level course, Sport Psychology for Coaches.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Chapter on Developing Positive Self-Talk Scripts
I'm not a sports coach, so I won't review the rest of the book. However, I was searching for techniques in developing positive Self-Talk Scripts, and this books Chapter 7 Self-Talk is the very best I have seen anywhere on developing specific, directed, self-talk scripts. I ordered this book specifically for this chapter alone. Although emphasizing sport, the worksheets and purposes can be used in developing self-talk for any situation in one's life.Also, this book includes an excellent overview and summary of the current understanding and application of Self-Talk.Highly recommended for fans of Self-Talk, along with the seminal 'The Self-Talk Solution' by Dr. Shad Helmstetter.

Product Description

Sport Psychology Interventions shows professionals how to help athletes get the most out of their sport experience and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Edited by Shane Murphy, former sport psychologist for the United States Olympic Committee, this practical guide explains how to assist athletes at all levels in facing the special challenges and unique problems that are common in today's sports world.

Unlike texts that discuss psychological interventions aimed directly at improving athletic performance, Sport Psychology Interventions focuses on helping athletes enjoy their participation more and, as a result, perform better and achieve their goals by
-managing their lives successfully,

-growing and developing as individuals, and

-experiencing sport as a positive learning process.
This book is written by internationally recognized sport psychologists—experts who are familiar with the struggles and triumphs of athletes. Using real-life examples, these contributors address issues that are typically encountered by physicians, athletic trainers, psychologists, counselors, and health care professionals working with athletes. They use case studies extensively throughout the book to bring these issues to life.

Part I presents a variety of intervention models. By studying each model in the context of its application to a particular kind of athlete, the contributors are able to address specific issues related to
-child athletes,

-competitive recreational athletes,

-student athletes,

-female athletes,

-elite athletes, and

-other sport groups.
The book explains all of the prevalent intervention models in modern sport psychology:
-Life development

-Educational

-Multisystemic

-Family systems

-Organizational

-Developmental

-Marital therapy

-Cognitive-behavioral
Each chapter begins with one or more case studies that show how each intervention applies to sport psychology and how that intervention is used.

Part II examines issues commonly encountered by many helping professionals in the sport setting. Case studies illustrate how sport psychology can be used in counseling athletes who are experiencing special circumstances, including
-injury,

-alcohol and drug use,

-eating disorders and weight management,

-career transitions, and

-overtraining and burnout.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Handbook for Good Professional Practice
Intended for an audience of sport psychology professionals, this book is also extremely appropriate for anyone interested in addressing the practical needs of athletes. This might include the parent, coach, even fan into looking deeper into the psychological components of performance.

The book is well organized into multiple applied settings that explore models of intervention and special issues in counseling athletes. Specialists in sub-fields of sport psychology tackle sensitive areas in each chapter, for example, children in sport, working with a coach in a team setting, gender issues, providing services to student athletes, caring for injured athletes, over-training and burnout. Like other similar books in the field, (such as Williams (Editor) (1998) Applied Sport Psychology: Personal Growth to Peak Performance (3rd Ed)), 'Sport Psychology Interventions' gives a basic literature review for each chapter covered but also uses case studies taken from the experiences of well respected sport psychology professionals to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions.

As a trainee sport psychologist, I found the format of the book particularly helpful because of the applied nature. Writing from both the educational and clinical perspectives, `Sport Psychology Interventions' is well supported by research, exploring many areas of ethical and intervention issues that any practicing professional in the area are likely to face. From this standpoint the book is an invaluable resource that can be developed to facilitate much discussion about delivery guidelines and `our' boundaries as health care and performance enhancement professionals. A worthwhile addition to your library. ... Read more

Product Description

The latest edition of the best-selling sport and exercise psychology book on the market, Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Fifth Edition, provides a thorough introduction to the key concepts in the field. Written by internationally respected authors, it provides students and new practitioners with a comprehensive view of sport and exercise psychology, bridges the gap between research and practice, conveys principles of professional practice, and captures the excitement of the world of sport and exercise.

A supreme effort has been made to meet the increasing needs of professors, practitioners, and students. To further improve the total learning experience, the fifth edition features the following:

• A streamlined online study guide that provides an interactive learning experience for students

Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Fifth Edition, provides students with a unique learning experience, taking them on a journey through the origins and goals, key concepts, research development, and career options available in the field. The book contains seven parts that may be studied in any sequence. Part I introduces students to the field, detailing its history, current status, and the various roles of sport and exercise psychologists. Part II focuses on personal factors that affect performance and psychological development in sport, physical education, and exercise settings. In part III, the authors focus on two major classes of situational factors that influence behavior: competition and cooperation, and feedback and reinforcement. Part IV focuses on group interaction and processes, while part V discusses how psychological techniques may be used to help people perform more effectively. Part VI addresses the various roles psychological factors play in health and exercise. The final section, part VII, deals with topics of psychological development and well-being that are important to both society and sport and exercise psychology, including children’s psychological development through sport participation, aggression in sport, and moral development and good sporting behavior in sport and physical activity contexts.

The online study guide allows the subject of sport psychology to come alive to its users. The study guide works directly with the text; mentions of the study guide appear throughout each chapter to encourage students to apply knowledge gained from the text.

This new format allows instructors to choose whether they would like students to complete the activities for personal use, print and hand them in as assignments, or submit them for assessment as an e-mail attachment or through a learning management system. The study guide activities require students to do the following:

• Use actual sport and exercise psychology instruments to assess their skills

• Determine how to respond to real-life scenarios (with short answers or essays)

• Review and design research studies and experiments

• Search the Internet for relevant information

• Apply and test their understanding of principles and concepts of sport and exercise psychology

Students will hear from experts such as Diane Gill, Rainer Martens, Robin Vealey, and other pioneers in the field. The video clips provide students with a realistic look at how sport psychology consultants interact and communicate with athletes to improve athletic experiences, allowing students to peer into the real world of a practicing sport psychology consultant. Both the audio and video clips help students understand the research and practice of sport psychology in today’s society.

Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Fifth Edition, also supplies in-depth learning aids to help students think more critically about applying the material. These aids include chapter objectives and summaries, informative sidebars, key terms, key points, and discussion questions in each chapter. The enhanced design, artwork, and photos will also help make the material more interesting and accessible to readers.
