The ability to mould a group of talented individual athletes into an
effective team takes effort and skill. Team Psychology in Sports
examines the crucial factors in the development of an effective team,
introducing important psychological and organizational concepts and
offering evidence-based interventions for enhancing the performance of
any sports team.
The book neatly bridges the gap between theory and practice, with real
sporting case studies, examples and practical tools included in each
chapter. It covers the full range of issues in team sport, including:
- planning
- communication
- cohesion
- motivation
- emotions
- momentum
- leadership
- recovery.
No other book offers such an up-to-date, relevant and applied guide to
working with sports teams. It is essential reading for all students and
practitioners working in sport psychology or sports coaching.
