Human Kinetics Publishers Motivating People to Be Physically Active
Book SynopsisDescribes proven methods for helping people change from being inactive to active living. This book helps readers learn to use a 5-stage model to measure motivational readiness for physical activity as well as learning how to apply stage-specific strategies for individual, group, workplace and community interventions.Trade Review“In my opinion Motivating People to Be Physically Active, Second Edition is the best book of 2009 on how to apply theory to practice. It is the only one I have liked well enough to write a recommendation. The book starts with four chapters that provide a thorough review of physical activity and behavior change theory, with special emphasis on motivational readiness to change. This review was one of the best I have read in terms of being well grounded scientifically but also very practical. The next chapter describes how to apply these concepts to assess physical activity patterns. The final four chapters describe how to develop programs for individual counseling, group counseling, work settings and community settings. The book includes forms that can be used to track physical activity and counsel clients, and the appendix is full of questionnaires that can be used to measure many of the concepts described in the book. The book is well organized, clearly written, thoroughly documented and easy to read. I recommend it highly to anyone who is involved in designing or managing fitness programs, coaching or personal fitness training, or is teaching or studying these issues.” Michael P.

Hachette Books Ninety Percent Mental
Book SynopsisIn Ninety Percent Mental, Bob Tewksbury shows readers a side of the game only he can provide, given his singular background as both a longtime MLB pitcher and a mental skills coach for two of the sport''s most fabled franchises, the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants. Fans watching the game on television or even at the stadium don''t have access to the mind games a pitcher must play in order to get through an at-bat, an inning, a game.

He also offers an in-depth look into some of baseball''s most monumental moments and intimate anecdotes from a who''s who of the game, including legendary players who Tewksbury played with and against (such as Mark McGwire, Craig Biggio, and Greg Maddux), game-changing managers and executives (Joe Torre, Bruce Bo

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rational Practitioner
Book SynopsisSport and exercise psychology has grown exponentially as an academic discipline and profession in the past decade. The dominant approach to sport and exercise psychology practice is the cognitive-behavioural approach that stems from cognitive behavioural therapies (CBTs). CBTs are the most widely used counselling approaches in the world. Through this approach developed rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), a cognitive-based theory and therapy that incorporates many of the techniques that defines CBTs to this day (e.g., cognitive restructuring, rehearsal, imagery, self-talk).The Rational Practitioner: The Sport and Performance Psychologist's Guide to Practicing Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy develops innovative concepts that are particular to the performance milieu, whilst sticking rigorously to core theory. This book is fundamental to applied practice and offers practitioners, scholars, and researchers of sport psychology and REBT, theoretical and detailed praTrade Review"In this book Martin goes deep into REBT and excavates key elements that can be applied in sport and performance environments. As well as offering important theoretical clarifications, there is also a wealth of practitioner tools and techniques in the book. As a sport psychologist who utilises an REBT approach in my own practice, I’m always looking for resources to aid my consultancy practice. Martin’s book is a keen addition to my library and one that will continue to guide my use of this important and powerful approach to behaviour change."Dan Abrahams, Sport Psychologist"The book provides a forensic and comprehensive examination of the key theory, frameworks and technical components central to the REBT approach, and an effective guide for those who wish to contribute to the growing application of REBT in sport and performance settings. In my professional lead role as an educator and trainer of Sport and Exercise Psychologists, the book represents an extremely valuable resource for those applied practitioners wishing to develop the knowledge and skills required to effectively use REBT in their service delivery with clients." Dr. Martin Eubank , LJMU Professional Doctorate Programme Director and BPS Qualification Lead in Sport and Exercise Psychology"Learning to become a sport psychologist is like picking up shards of a smashed antique jug. As you discuss and grow with others in the field, you slowly piece it together to develop your practice. Learning REBT fully is like being the person who has the vase and uses it to pour out the wine of rational truth for your clients. Dr. Turner’s book is of immense value for his robust depth of knowledge on REBT. I would prefer for it to have existed when I began my career providing sport psychology to Olympians and Paralympians. Every day we accept reality and are undisturbed by it. Frequently though, things occur and we become disturbed. In sport we face failure, injury, setbacks, sometimes even death, amidst the harsh existence of life. It is within those most difficult of cases where the most robust and accessible approaches will prevail, and REBT serves these challenges well. In a field that promotes positivity and happiness as the end goal, REBT cuts through the nonsense to leave humans in control of their reality." Hugh J. Gilmore, Sport Psychologist with British Weightlifting and British Athletics, Podium Psychology "Martin Turner has achieved something special with this book. By combining his sophisticated understanding of REBT and the unique demands coming from the world of sports, he offers great insight and practical solutions that unlock optimal performance. Sport is a microcosm of life. We learn so much from participating in the game. Dr. Turner's ‘Rational Practitioner’ book helps all of us discover philosophies and applied answers that can help us navigate the complexities of life in addition to sport."Dr. Scott Goldman, Clinical and Sport Psychologist who has been embedded with multiple NFL, NBA, MLB, and NCAA teams"Sport culture has for too long propagated a host of incredibly unhelpful attitudes and perspectives around what it means to be an athlete and the inherent value of winning. So few coaches and others in supporting roles are conscious of the perspectives or beliefs that could be dramatically holding back their athletes. REBT is a powerful concept to bring into performance sport because it provides a solid foundational mindset, more closely aligned to the reality of any situation, from which athletes can build on and achieve their potential. Elite sport is crying out for a healthier approach; one that does not break down or burnout its participants so consistently. A more widespread understanding of the theory and practice of REBT would be a vital part of that healthier approach."Laurence Cassøe Halsted, Director of Mentoring, The True Athlete Project"As applied sport psychologists working within high performance environments, we are charged with deciding which approaches and frameworks we learn and utilise with clients. In ‘The Rational Practitioner’, Martin offers a comprehensive account of the REBT approach, and the GABCDE framework found within it, to working in performance settings. Martin links REBT with ideas and techniques common to sport psychology, helping REBT to be seen as a broad approach to working with clients, rather than a niche psychotherapy only for clinical usage. Alongside much theoretical detail, Martin offers many practical ideas and concepts for practitioners to use in their work, making the book useful for applied psychologists working in the real world."Rebecca Levett, Sport and Exercise Psychologist, Sporting Success"The comprehensive nature of the book, combining the theoretical and philosophical tenets of REBT, ensures that this volume will be a cornerstone of REBT literature."Stuart Carrington, idrottsforum.orgTable of ContentsIntroduction1 Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy2 The GABCDE framework 3 The interdependent GABC(DE) framework 4 The practitioner and the client 5 Consequences (C) 6 Adversity or activating event (A) 7 A–C connection vs. B–C connection 8 Goals (G) 9 The nature of beliefs (B) 10 The rational and irrational beliefs (B) 11 Assessing beliefs (B) 12 Disputation (D) 13 Effective new beliefs (E) 14 Closing remarks Afterword

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 (Sales) Endurance Performance in Sport
Book SynopsisAthletes participating at all levels of endurance performance can relate to the impact of psychological factors. Whether it is motivation, self-belief, feeling nervous before a race, exercise-induced pain, sticking to a pacing strategy, or thoughts around what to focus on, there are a vast number of psychological factors which can affect endurance performance.Bringing together experts in the field from around the world, this is the first text to provide a detailed overview of the psychology of endurance performance where there is a research and an applied focus looking at both main theoretical models as well as how interventions can support an athleteâs efficacy and well-being. The authors look at regulatory processes around pain, decision-making, self-belief, emotions, and meta-cognition, before examining a range of cognitive strategies, including the use of imagery, goals, self-talk, and mindfulness techniques. With a final section of the book outlining issues related to mental health that are relevant to endurance performance, the book shows that the future of research and application of psychological theory in endurance performance in sport is bright and thriving.Aimed at researchers, students, coaches, and athletes themselves, this is essential reading for anyone wishing to better understand how our minds experience endurance in performance arenas, and what psychological techniques can be used to make us more efficient. Trade Review"As both an exercise scientist and a runner, I have always been intrigued by the interaction between physical and psychological performance during endurance activities. In this innovative text, Carla Meijen explores the psychology of human endurance including pain management, decision-making, self-belief and motivation. Drawing on expertise from a range of world-leading specialists, Meijen clearly articulates the scientific and cognitive basis behind many of the psychological factors that influence endurance performance, whilst providing self-help guidelines that will be of benefit to both coaches and athletes. The text should be of interest to scientists and practitioners who have an interest in endurance sport, or to anyone who wishes to better understand their own body, and how best to cope with the mental challenges that are an integral part of human endurance performance." - Professor John Brewer, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Buckinghamshire New University, UK."With athletes regularly questioned to why they are not able to maintain their performance throughout the entirety of an event, this text provides a useful insight to understand why. Having assembled an international cast of leading academics and practitioners involved in the psychology of endurance performance, the text presents some of the most contemporary theoretical positions, evidence-based interventions, future research and applied suggestions. The text is an essential resource for anyone working within endurance activities, especially if they are prepared to see beyond traditional psychological approaches." - Richard Thelwell, Professor of Applied Sport Psychology, University of Portsmouth, UK.Table of ContentsChapter 1: An introduction to Endurance Performance in Sport: Psychological Theory and InterventionsCarla Meijen and Samuel MarcoraPART I: Determinants of endurance performanceChapter 2: Psychobiology of fatigue during endurance exercise Samuele MarcoraChapter 3: Exercise-induced pain: A psychophysiological perspective Alexis MaugerChapter 4: Decision-making, pacing and performance in endurance sport Dominic Micklewright Chapter 5: Regulating emotions to go faster!

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mindfulness and Acceptance in Sport
Book SynopsisMindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment (MAC) are gaining momentum with sport psychology practitioners who work to support elite athletes. These acceptance-based, or third wave, cognitive behavioral approaches in sport psychology highlight that thought suppression and control techniques can trigger a metacognitive scanning process, and that excessive cognitive activity and task-irrelevant focus (self-focused attention such as trying to change thoughts) disrupts performance. Using this perspective, the aim of sport psychology interventions is not to help the athletes engage in the futile task of managing and controlling internal life. Rather, it suggests that sport psychology practitioners should work to increase athletes' willingness to accept negative thoughts and emotions in pursuit of valued ends. Key aspects of such interventions include: teaching athletes to open up andTable of Contents1.
