Handbook of Research on Sport Psychology

Rating:
Summary: A must for coaches
Review: This book is tremendously valuable for the coach who is seeking to maximize his/her performance as a coach as well as maximize his/her players' performance. In the major areas of sport psych, the chapter editors have done all the research for you. In most cases they have broken down the information so that the everyday coach can understand at least some of the research results. Don't plan on curling up with this one on a Sunday afternoon though - 900 pages of pretty heavy stuff. Better use this one more as a reference book to solve problems or develop a strategy.
