Frameworks for Sport Psychologists

the long version

"Frameworks for Sport Psychologists introduces the reader to the main theories of psychology and shows how to apply these theories to help athletes perform better." "Demonstrating how theoretical models can be applied, author Karen L. Hill sets up the hypothetical case of a struggling golfer, Lisa "The Cheetah" Irons. Through this case study, Hill shows how each theory helps the sport psychologist to interpret Lisa's thoughts, emotions, and actions, and to create a plan of action for performance enhancement." "The text follows a progression of five distince theories. The reader learns how each theory applies to a single case, then applies the theories to other cases, and writes an original process plan."--Jacket.
