Customer Reviews

Really thorough with good examples...

I had to get this book for class and was pleasantly surprised how easy a read it's been. Lots of good case studies and a variety of information for coaches and sport psychologists.

Great Price and Fast Shipping!!

I purchased the book at a great price and it arrived within a few days!

Such a great "Hands-On" resource!

As a performance enhancement specialist, I am constantly looking for activities and exercies to do with my clients. This book helps to develop PST programs, including various activites to do with your athletes. This book was used as a text in a Sport Psychology class that I took. I have found it to be extremely helpful and fully recommend it.

The best of applied sport psychology theory and practice.

Jean William's edited text is a favorite of mine. I use it in our graduate program at Georgia Southern University. The authors have done an excellent job of presenting both the "whys" and "how tos" of the intervention techniques in sport psychology. Several leading sport psychologists have made significant, easy to understand, contributions to this text. This book has accomplished the rare feat of being able to be used as an academic text AND a "performance enhancement" book for the interested athlete, coach, exerciser, or other performers.
