5.0 out of 5 stars
Educational book worth the read,
By Lea M. Vandegrift "LeaV23" (Quarryville, PA 17566) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sport Psychology: Concepts and Applications (Paperback)
This Sport Psych book was great. I minored in Sport and Exercise Psychology in undergraduate school and this book had a lot of useful information in it. My professor was great at teaching but the book was a good supplement. The diagrams and tables are easy to understand in this book and help piece the information together. This book covers a lot of different areas and I found them very useful.

I use this text in an on-line undergraduate sport psychology course. Cox does a very good job of presenting research and application aspects of sport and exercise psychology. Students enjoy this easy-to-read text.
