SUMMAERY

This book overs the application of psychology to the sports environment. We are familiar with terms such as being ‘psyched up’ for a match or having the ‘mental edge’ in a competition, in fact, sport is a fairly new area of study for psychologists. This introduction to sport psychology will give you some idea of how it has developed, what it entails and the work that sport psychologists do.
