This book describes how behaviour analysis principles and techniques can be applied to enhance the performance and enjoyment of athletes and others associated with sports. It deals with both the principles and the tactics of behavioural sport psychology consulting- what it is and how to do it. This edition includes new applications at the beginning of Chapters 2 - 13; an integration in one chapter of stratgies for improving confidence, concentration, and peak performance of athletes; considerable revision of other chapters, and many new references. Like the first two editions, the book contains many illustrations of sport-specific questionaires, behavioural checklists, self-monitoring forms, and practical interventions that have been used successfully to help athletes get more out of practices and maximize their competitive performance. The emphasis throughout is on practical techniques that work. |
