“Hassmén, Keegan, and Piggott's Rethinking Sport and Exercise Psychology Research examines sport and exercise psychology through a historical lens, exposing ‘paradigm shifts,’ theoretical conflicts, and developments that have both enabled and hindered progress. … many of the ideas presented can help researchers produce more meaningful work. As a result, the text will be most appropriate for practiced graduate students, faculty and professionals.” (C. Hauff, Choice, Vol. 54 (11), July, 2017)
