Editorial Reviews
Review
"It stretches the boundaries of the present-day investigation in the field to include many critical topics not covered in the inaugural edition (CH, Jun'93). Documentation is exceptionally well done. This text will assist coaches, psychologists, and athletes concerned with enhancing human performance. Highly recommended for all university and graduate libraries committed to research or applications in sport psychology, Upper-division undergraduates and above." —H.F. Kenny Jr. (Choice, Jan 02)
"...a readable and informative introduction to this diverse and expanding field..." (Pediatric Rehabilitation, Vol.5, No.1, 2002)

One of the best resources for research in sport psychology!,
By
This review is from: Handbook of Sport Psychology (Hardcover)
It is rare that one can find a book that so thoroughly covers most of the research topics available in a particular field of study. This book may serve as the starting point for any sport psychology researcher or as a excellent resource for the some of the latest sport psychology research. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in, or performing research in sport psychology.
