Apply the winning techniques of sport psychology to your current practice?and in so doing, attract a new population of clients, including both serious and recreational athletes, women, seniors, and kids at all levels of skill and experience. The author, a successful clinical and sport psychologist, gives detailed advice on the best way to include sport psychology in an existing practice. He also demonstrates how to apply cognitive-behavioral and social learning theories within a sport psychology context.
Filled with illustrative examples, this book provides suggestions for using sport psychology techniques when working with common nonsport-related issues, such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
