Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Applied Sport Psychology: Personal Growth to Peak Performance (Paperback)
I needed this book for a Mental Game Coaching certification course I was taking. The book arrived as advertised. As for the content in the book, this seems to be a very solid book on the applied research and understanding on sports psychology. As a non-psych specialist, I found it an easy read.
