Contemporary Advances in Sport Psychology

This book brings together leading international researchers to survey some of the most important emerging topics in contemporary sport psychology, including personality, motivation, stress, leadership, and quantitative and qualitative methods. Each chapter offers a comprehensive review of current knowledge and research on a cutting-edge theme, followed by in-depth discussion of conceptual and methodological issues, and then outlines potential avenues for further research. The review format provides the perfect entry point for all researchers, advanced students or practitioners, offering a much greater depth of discussion than the typical journal article.
