Details about Applied Psychology Practice in Professional Sport: Meeting the Person, Knowing the Athlete:

Applied Psychology Practice in Professional Sport is the first text to draw directly on psychological work delivered over many years to individual players and staff inside English Premier League Football as well as other professional sports, such as cricket, tennis, and golf. A key feature of this new text is the use of examples from the author’s applied practice, to demonstrate that many psychological terms and words used in the “lived world” of high-level professional sport, can be understood with greater depth and meaning where these are informed by more holistic perspectives such as existential, phenomenological, transpersonal and humanistic psychology. Implications for applied sport psychology practice are examined and recommendations offered. Although the book is about professional sport and psychology and is key readings for those associated within this discipline, the ideas and concepts discussed should be familiar to anyone involved in supporting people in challenging performance focused environments such as, business, education, or coaching professions. It is hoped that leaders, managers and other staff from these occupations, and closely related sectors, will find the book interesting and useful.
