Taylor & Francis Motor Learning in Practice
Book SynopsisMotor Learning in Practice explores the fundamental processes of motor learning and skill acquisition in sport, and explains how a constraints-led approach can be used to design more effective learning environments for sports practice and performance. Drawing on ecological psychology, the book examines the interaction of personal, environmental and task-specific constraints in the development of motor skills, and then demonstrates how an understanding of those constraints can be applied in a wide range of specific sports and physical activities. The first section of the book contains two chapters that offer an overview of the key theoretical concepts that underpin the constraints-led approach. These chapters also examine the development of fundamental movement skills in children, and survey the most important instructional strategies that can be used to develop motor skills in sport. The second section of the book contains eighteen chapters that apply these prinTable of ContentsPart 1 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Unpacking Depth Sport Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book utilizes a wealth of case studies to demonstrate the importance of using depth sport psychology to explore and understand athletes' unconscious feelings and fears, and provides the knowledge needed to help athletes deal with pressures faced throughout their sporting career. Applying the theories of Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, Margaret Mahler, Melanie Klein, Heinz Kohut, Donald Winnicott, and Christopher Bollas to explain the dynamics within the athlete's mind, this useful resource will help develop a better understanding of athlete's repressed feelings and psychological states. It looks past the cognitive behavioural techniques currently used to aid athletes, and instead focuses on the many ways the unconscious subtly influences athletes, offering an important a paradigm shift. Covering a range of different athletes within various sports, each chapter demonstrates how the psychoanalytic techniques of free association, the working alliance, analytic interTrade Review"This book is another step forward in the science of sport psychology and the even newer initiative of Depth Sport Psychology. Routledge are now leading publishers in the field and Dr. Tom Ferraro has utilised his considerable experience to put together a unique collection of insights and intriguing case studies, which provide a window into the mind of the amateur and professional athlete. Dr. Ferraro writes with and attractive style which is easy to read, and easy to understand. He explores new subjects in the field such as the relevance of birth order as well as a fascinating section on psychological defences (yes, players really do sabotage themselves!). In an age which has provided so much technological advance, statistical analysis and data it is time for any progressive scientist involved in sport to look at the opposite, the soul, the spirit and the unconscious of the athlete."Dr. David Burston, PCH Treatment Center, USA, and author of In Depth Sport Psychology: Reclaiming the Lost Soul of the Athlete (Routledge, 2019). "Tom Ferraro understands what it really takes to improve in athletics. He’s watched the best in the world try and fail and try again until they beat their demons and succeed.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport Psychology: Performance Enhancement,
Book SynopsisSport Psychology, 2nd Edition provides a synthesis of the major topics in sport psychology with an applied focus and an emphasis on achieving optimal performance. After exploring the history of sport psychology, human motivation, and the role of exercise, there are three main sections to the text: Performance Enhancement, Performance Inhibition, and Individuals and Teams.The first of these sections covers topics such as anxiety, routines, mental imagery, self-talk, enhancing concentration, relaxation, goals, and self-confidence. The section on Performance Inhibition includes chapters on choking under pressure, self-handicapping, procrastination, perfectionism, helplessness, substance abuse, and disruptive personality factors. While much of the information presented is universally applicable, individual differences based on gender, ethnicity, age, and motivation are emphasized in the concluding section on Individuals and Teams.Throughout, there are case studies of well-known athletes from a variety of sports to illustrate topics that are being explored.Trade Review"The book is thorough with a very large range of topics covered, some being particularly unique compared to other textbooks. There seems to be an increasing awareness within the field of factors that inhibit performance, rather than a sole focus on performance enhancement, and this new edition captures this shift rather well. Within the performance enhancement chapters that do have some overlap with other textbooks, Professor Gallucci conveys a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding these topics, which is a welcome advancement within the field." - Ian Taylor, Loughborough University, UK, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Science"I am very surprised and pleased with the way sport psychology is presented in this book. It appears to be a very thorough from an academic standpoint, while at the same time keeping an overall focus on what’s relevant to practice. I very much appreciate that this book has a thought-out format for how topics interact and should be addressed in practice. Most books use chapter titles that are issues, constructs, interventions with no organizing philosophy for their inclusion or order. This is a sport psychology book that truly relates to performance." - Steve Portenga, University of Denver, Sport and Performance Psychology"This is a well-written book that will be of interest to athletes and coaches interested in improving their understanding of sport psychology and their own psychological approach to sport. Current theory and research in the psychological factors are discussed, and these are explained in a very readable manner." - Rafael E. Romo, Texas A&M International University, Curriculum and Pedagogy"I think the material is great; the chapters are thorough, I like the progression in many of the chapters from general information to more sport-specific examples. There is a good balance of theory to application and strong examples to help students see these concepts 'in action' which students often find interesting and helpful." - Professor Karlene Sugarman, Sport Psychology Program, John F.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Getting to Neutral
Book SynopsisForeword by CiaraIn this breakthrough book, the author of Wall Street Journal bestseller It Takes What It Takes provides life-changing, step-by-step guidance on how to successfully navigate adversity and defeat negativity by downshifting to neutral thinking.Trade Review"Trevor has been incredibly valuable in helping me and so many players and teams understand the value of neutral thinking. To not dwell on what is behind you or what is out in front of you, but to focus on the present moment. To look at the moment and be neutral about the situation and focus on what you have to do and what you can control. You will find this book very impactful in helping you understand the right mental approach for any situation in your life." — Billy Donovan, head coach, Chicago Bulls, 2-time NCAA champion, University of Florida “Now more than ever, every competitive organization wants the ability to recover quickly from setbacks or adversity. In enterprise selling, the ability for individuals and leaders do so is core to their success. The principle of 'Neutral Thinking', not being defined by a single circumstance, event, or attaching our worth to a single outcome but living in the moment, is the foundation that allows us to recover fast. Our resilience as a sales organization has improved because of our work with Trevor because we now live in the truth; what has happened, what is happening, and what can I do now to change the outcome.
