Handbook of Sport Psychology

"...is a comprehensive reference source to all aspects of the field. An outstanding aspect of the work is that the authors use an integrated approach to the field, weaving together the biological, emotional, and cognitive aspects of sport psychology. This work is essential for students and researchers in exercise and sport science, kinesiology, sports psychology, and related fields and highly recommended for academic libraries." (American Reference Books Annual, 2008) "... there is no question that the Handbookin its third edition is a landmark in the domain and history of sport psychology. It is a book that will help anyone working in sport or interested in sport, it is a must for sport psychologists, and it is absolutely indispensable for anyone who does research in sport-psychologists and medical investigators alike."
