The Practice of Sport Psychology (Book) $38.95 During the last 6 years as I have prepared graduate students in psychology to become professional sport psychologists I have continued to experience a disparity between science and practice. In light of this I approached several expert practitioners people with vast experience in fieldwork and shared my concerns with them. I asked each of them to write a chapter for this book.–Gershon Tenenbaum, Editor The expert practitioners in The Practice of Sport Psychology address a variety of issues and concerns and come from different backgrounds institutes and programs. Each practitioner perceives his or her work from a different perspective–clinical health oriented community oriented feminist social practical–and each has developed unique methods of practice. However all are similar in their intent to optimize mental and emotional conditions so that the athletes and teams with whom they work will meet their desired goals. Author/Editor: Gershon Tenenbaum Copyright: 2001 Binding: Paperback Pages: 300 Inside you’ll find chapters on: what it means to practice sport psychology and the lessons to be learned from doing so who has benefited from the practices of sport psychology from Olympic skiers to equestrians to golfers to orienteers how much can be gained from reflections on community-based sport psychology and the experiences of a feminist sport psychologist when sport psychology can be used to benefit elite athletes world-class performers and during competition tours why the field of performance-enhancement consultation has many insights to offer us all how high-performance sports affect the experience of human development where the cross-cultural similarities and differences appear in the practice of sport psychology why the definition of winning needs to be expanded how to plan your specialist training in sport psychology Gershon Tenenbaum is a professor at Florida State University.

Sport Psychology in Practice $56.48 Just another applied sport psych book? Hardly. Get ready to take off in uncharted territory with Sport Psychology in Practice, which delves into complex, sensitive, and even taboo topics that many other texts have not approached. Compiled by renowned psychologist Mark Andersen, this text presents comprehensive and realistic dialogues between athletes and sport psychologists. These exchanges provide a real-world sensibility to the topics expressed in the book. The text guides readers through these situations: ? Understanding the dynamics of a variety of issues, including alcohol abuse and violence, referral processes, erotic transference and countertransference, and communication problems between coaches and athletes ? Working with diverse clients, including athletes of color, gay and lesbian athletes, and disabled athletes ? Presenting to and working with entire teams ? Uncovering the layers of several complex topics, including eating disorders and injury and identity issues In addition to covering some of these complex and deeply personal topics, the text details the fundamental issues of applied sport psychology, including developing the consultant?client relationship and connecting with teams, coaches, and individuals. In dealing with relationships a sport psychologist would typically face, Sport Psychology in Practice addresses serious ethical and philosophical issues and asks more general questions about the field and how to work with clients. Sport Psychology in Practice contains insights from an elite list of contributors who explain, using real-life examples, how they successfully and ethically "do" sport psychology. Methods that have worked for the most respected practitioners in the field are presented with an informal, engaging approach and rely substantially on dialogue and actual experiences. In addition, the book offers expert commentary after three chapters, expanding on the issues within each of those chapters. It includes an afterword that analyzes the key points in the book. This book is a great starting point for discussion among students and long-time practitioners regarding how the field should evolve and what issues should continue to be debated.

Examining Organizational Values in Practice $111.98 Although gender equity has been adopted as an organizational value in some sport organizations, evidence of continued gender inequities at all levels of sport signal it is not always enacted. This book uses a post-structuralist feminist perspective to examine and critique dominant meanings of gender equity and raise questions about how such knowledge is produced and put into practice for athletes. In addition, it enters into discussions about how ingrained meanings and practices perpetuate gender inequities and entertains possibilities for transformation. The book presents data collected from case studies of four sport programs (basketball, ice hockey, rugby, and swimming) at one Canadian university. The findings from the case studies challenge the assumptions that there are unitary and widely shared understandings of organizational values and that espoused values are fully put into practice. It is an essential reading for students and researchers interested in the sociology and organizational culture of sport. |

Sexual Harassment and Abuse in Sport $45.48 Sport has long held a special place in the affections of western industrial societies. This status has protected sport from critical scrutiny and meant that social inequalities and other problems, such as sexual harassment and abuse, have all-too-often been ignored or tacitly condoned. Further, general research on institutional sex offending has been much slower to develop than individual, pathological analyses. There is reason to believe that sport research could contribute to a wider understanding of institutional abuse. But for that to happen there needs to be a concerted effort by both sport and non-sport researchers to share their work more often and more openly. The sport-based researchers whose work is reported here bring many different approaches to this work. It is their hope that this book will take this work to a wider audience, both to increase awareness of sexual abuse in extra-familial settings and to attract critical interest in the sharing of research perspectives between those working inside and outside sport. CONTENTS: Sexual harassment and abuse in sport: The research context Celia Brackenridge and Kari Fasting . Prevalence of sexual abuse in organised competitive sport in Australia Trisha Leahy, Grace Pretty and Gershon Tenenbaum . coping with sexual harassment in sport: Experiences of elite female athletes Kari Fasting, Celia Brackenridge and Kristin Walseth . Running the gauntlet: An examination of initiation/hazing and sexual abuse in sport Sandra Kirby and Glen Wintrup . Sexual harassment of women in athletics vs academia Karin Volkwein, Frauke Schnell, Shannon Devlin, Michele Mitchell and Jennifer Sutera . Defining appropriateness in coach-athlete sexual relationships: The voice of coaches Joy Bringer, Celia Brackenridge and Lynne Johnston . The Child Protection in Sport Unit Steve Boocock . Reflections on the special issue on sport: implications for education and professional practice Carole Oglesby .

Although technical in nature, and the pedagogical writing style makes the book appropriate for coaches and trainers as well as nutritionists. The editors, well-known experts in their fields, have collected a panel of top-notch nutrition experts – making this book not only comprehensive but also authoritative.

Psychology of Concentration in Sport Performers $34.98 The capacity to "concentrate" effectively, or to exert mental effort on the specific task at hand while ignoring distractions, is widely regarded by athletes, coaches and psychologists as the key to successful performance in competitive sport. But what exactly is "concentration"? Why do athletes often "lose" it, paradoxically, at the very time they need it most? Can it be measured? Furthermore, how successful are the various psychological techniques (e.g. mental practice) which are alleged to enhance concentration? Unfortunately, until now, these questions have remained largely unanswered due to such problems as the atheoretical nature of research in sport psychology and the reluctance of cognitive psychologists to explore how the mind works under the real-life pressures and distractions that are commonly encountered in sport. Therefore, this monograph fills a gap in the field by exploring the attentional processes of athletes using a theoretical framework derived from contemporary cognitive psychology. Usinga wealth of sporting examples, the author, who is Official Psychologist to the Irish Olympic Squad, argues convincingly that research on the "mental side" of athletic performance offers exciting possibilities for increased collaboration between sport psychology and cognitive science (e.g. with regard to such topics as the study of emotional influences on skilled performance). Written in a lively and accessible style, this book represents an entertaining and welcome attempt to explore the mental substrates of athletic performance. As such, it should appeal as much to cognitive researchers as to students and professionals in the growing discipline of sport psychology. |

Principles and Practice of Resistance Training $74.48 Principles and Practice of Resistance Training represents a true breakthrough in planning and monitoring strength training programs. This research-based book details how to systematically examine the physical, physiological, and biomechanical parameters associated with crafting resistance training programs to improve sport performance and strength and power in athletes. The authors bring together more than 100 collective years of teaching, conducting research, and coaching national- and international-level athletes to share their unique insights concerning adaptations to strength and conditioning. The text is written in a manner that challenges professionals while remaining accessible to advanced coaches. It begins by presenting readers with an understanding of basic science. This scientific foundation allows readers to formulate a sound training process that is more likely to produce the desired short- and long-term results. Next, the text examines how to test, monitor, and evaluate adaptations to various types of training programs. It emphasizes the significance of appropriately monitoring training programs to identify elements of the program to adjust so the goals of clients or athletes are more effectively and efficiently achieved. Finally, the authors discuss exercise selection and present a practical example so readers can learn to apply the information in the text to build their own training programs. Each chapter is written in a "stand-alone" manner so that readers can refer back to the material as needed. Principles and Practice of Resistance Training also explores key questions that currently have no clear, scientifically proven answers. For these issues, the authors offer reasoned, speculative explanations based on the best available information and data–including anecdotal evidence– intended to stimulate additional observation and research that will eventually offer a clearer understanding and resolution of the issues involved. In sharing their personal experiences as coaches and research scientists, the authors are able to address issues that are not normally dealt with in academic programs. Principles and Practice of Resistance Training is far more than a general guide for strength training. It is an in-depth exploration of the science behind the training. Armed with the scientific understanding and the tools to put that information into practice, you will be able to develop training programs that help your athletes or clients excel. |

Whether you’re teaching or coaching flag football, soccer, volleyball, or another sport, this resource will help you develop your beginning students’ skills in an efficient, sequential manner and encourage them to become lifelong participants in physical activity. 11/22/2002 copyright, 296 pages. |

Sport Foundations for Elementary Physical Education $30.48 • Provide a more enjoyable and motivating experience for young learners. • Gain the skills necessary to apply a tactical approach to any sport. • Use modified game play to create a developmentally appropriate environment for learning. Sport Foundations for Elementary Physical Education: A Tactical Games Approach is the first book to provide a comprehensive, applied, and field-tested plan for using tactical games teaching in elementary school. If you’re a teacher or coach working with children in second through fifth grade, you’ll find this approach increases students’ motivation, enhances their tactical awareness, and leads to improved skill development. Written by the authors of the highly popular Teaching Sport Concepts and Skills: A Tactical Games Approach, this book teaches the tactical games approach by game category: invasion games, net/wall games, striking/fielding games, and target games. This approach to teaching tactics, skills, and off-the-ball movements using modified or conditioned games allows greater flexibility for the teacher. What’s more, it increases the transfer of tactics and skills across games for students and allows students to experience the excitement of play before practicing specific skills. For each game category, the book presents three progressive levels of units containing up to 30 detailed lesson plans. Each of the 91 lessons is designed to allow teachers flexibility in planning and progression and includes • a tactical problem, • lesson focus, • objective, • games, • practice tasks, and • sets of problem-solving questions and answers for ongoing assessment. In addition to clearly explaining the concepts of tactical teaching, the authors provide a wealth of practical material for teaching and assessment. In particular, the chapter on assessment provides sample tools for authentic assessment in the psychomotor, cognitive, behavioral and social, and affective learning domains. Another chapter details how to build a curriculum using the games approach. Sport Foundations for Elementary Physical Education: A Tactical Games Approach will enable you to teach elementary-level games and sports more effectively. |
