{"product_id":"applied-sport-psychology-isbn-9780470725740","title":"Applied Sport Psychology","description":"Taking a refreshingly different approach to the subject, this new textbook uses original case studies of psychological support work with individual athletes and groups to illustrate the underlying theory and inform the reader of cutting edge practice in the field. It addresses ‘real world’ issues and helps the student understand the problems and challenges that the sport psychologist faces and is employed to resolve.  \u003cp\u003eThe book begins by exploring the use of case studies as a professional method for disseminating applied knowledge and practice in sport psychology. The remaining chapters constitute the core of the book: the case studies themselves. Each case study demonstrates scientific rigour in reporting the background information, initial assessment, intervention and monitoring, evaluation of the intervention, and also considers consultant effectiveness through reflective practice. The chapters also contain summaries and an accompanying set of questions for students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a team of experienced practitioners this book shows how sport psychology actually works in practice. As such it will prove invaluable to students of sport psychology in both sport and exercise science and psychology programmes. It will also be an extremely useful resource for coaches and sports professionals undergoing training in sport psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSeries Preface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthors' Biographies xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBrian Hemmings and Tim Holder\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 The cognitive–behavioural approach 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Types of assessments and interventions 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Techniques and skills 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Reflective practice 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION A Working with Individuals 5\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Enhancing Self-Efficacy in Professional Tennis: Intensive Work for Life on the Tour\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eChris Harwood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction\/background information 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Initial needs assessment 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 From identified needs into intervention objectives 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Interventions and monitoring 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Evaluation of interventions 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.6 Evaluation of consultant effectiveness\/reflective practice 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.7 Summary 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuestions for students 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Managing Distractions in Test Cricket 33\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBrian Hemmings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Introduction\/background information 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Initial needs assessment 34\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Interventions and monitoring 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Evaluation of interventions 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Evaluation of consultant effectiveness\/reflective practice 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 Summary 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuestions for students 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Consultancy in the Ring: Psychological Support to a World Champion Professional Boxer 51\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAndrew M.
