The Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology is a definitive guide to the theory and practice of sport psychology. It goes further than any other book in surveying the full variety of issues that practising sport psychologists will confront in their working lives. It introduces the most important tools and skills that psychologists must employ to get the best out of their clients and, crucially, it adopts a holistic definition of the role of the sport psychologist, explaining how effective counselling, measured assessment and therapeutic models can add an important extra dimension to professional practice.
