Taylor & Francis Ltd The Mental Impact of Sports Injury
Book SynopsisMuch is known about the physical strain that athletes' bodies are subjected to and the dangerous aspects of competition immediately spring to mind. But why do athletes train the way they do, and why do they push the limits? Why do some recover well from injury while others struggle? Despite decades of medical and sport science research, a piece has been missing from this picture. Until recently, the role of psychological factors in risk and rehabilitation has been poorly understood. Thankfully, there is increasing awareness of just how crucial these factors can be for predicting injury, improving recovery, developing prevention strategies, and supporting athletes' long-term health. Yet, research in this area is still in its infancy and it can be difficult to synthesize an ever-growing body of knowledge into practical injury management approaches.Using analogies from everyday life, The Mental Impact of Sports Injury bridges the gap between academic research andTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Behavioural Sports Economics
Book SynopsisEconomists have entered into the realm of sports to provide what they believe to be more cogent explanations for sport-related behaviour and to suggest ways in which incentives can improve sports outcomes. But prices and income, the traditional workhorses of conventional economics, can only provide partial explanations and understandings. Drawing on a bounded rationality approach to behavioural economics, this book demonstrates the analytical insights to be gained by supplementing the conventional economics toolbox with psychological, cognitive, sociological, and institutional factors.The international cast list of contributors cover a wide range of sports topics on which a behavioural approach can reveal new insights. These include preferences, managerial, efficiency, choking, doping, favouritism, athlete well- being, and spectator behaviour. Throughout the book, there is an emphasis on the cognitive limits to smart decision-making as well as the critical role played by the Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders
Book SynopsisThis book provides readers with concrete, tangible tools for treating athletes with eating disorders by discussing issues that are unique to this population and introducing specific ideas to help facilitate recovery among this population.Dr. Bennett integrates her experiences in sport and mental health to provide a comprehensive resource for all healthcare providers who support athletes with eating disorders. Traditional sport psychology interventions are translated into clinical action to help therapists align with the athletic identities of individuals recovering from eating disorders. From diagnosis and neurobiology to athletic identity and excellence, this book covers a range of topics to help readers build their own toolboxes of creative and clinically sound psychological interventions.This comprehensive guide provides professionals who are new to the field with essential knowledge pertaining to the treatment of eating disorders and offers experienced healthcare pTrade Review"As a coach, leader and psychologist working with athletes over the past 40 years I often have been confronted by athletes experiencing eating disorders. Where was this book when I needed it? Fortunately, it has arrived and Dr. Bennett has provided a thorough, probing and comprehensive road map into the what, why and how of this global issue. In Chinese, the word for crisis means both danger and opportunity. Yes, eating disorders are a crisis on many levels but they are also an opportunity as Kate so beautifully points out, how suffering can lead to great results in the recovery process. She eloquently discusses how such a crisis is actually the ultimate competition with the freedom of recovery being the greatest reward, perhaps greater than a national championship. Such mental and emotional reframing will empower every athlete to take on the challenge of going beyond one of life's greatest challenges. If you work with athletes, you must read this book."— Jerry Lynch, PhD, founder and CEO of Way of Champions, athlete, and author of The Competitive Buddha and 13 more on Leadership and Performance "Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders is a valuable resource for treatment providers, athletes, parents, and sport personnel who want to increase understanding and attunement specific to eating disorders in sport. Kate Bennett provides a sound framework for conceptualizing the multifaceted and complex nature of eating disorders in athletes. In addition, practical and effective interventions are outlined to appropriately facilitate needed healing and change while honoring an athlete’s identity, values, and unique disposition." —Riley Nickols, PhD, CEDS, counseling and sport psychologist, director of the Victory Program at McCallum Place, founder of Mind Body Endurance"Bravo Kate Bennett for tackling the very complex problem where eating disorders and athletes intertwine. Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders is fraught with nuisance and requires the ability to understand and empathize with the kind of training, discipline and mental toughness that is required for peak performance while at the same time being able to challenge when things get out of hand and an eating or exercise disorder develops. The important point is made over and over that these are not easy black and white issues but take a nuanced approach. As a clinician for decades and now founder of an institute where I train and certify eating disorder coaches, I was impressed that Kate Bennett sees herself as a therapist and coach to athletes and believes that this combination is critical. In my experience all eating disorder clients need both of these elements in their treatment providers. This book is an absolute necessity to any eating disorder clinician’s library and should be required reading for coaches as well." —Carolyn Costin, The Carolyn Costin Institute, author 8 Keys to Recovery From an Eating Disorder, The Eating Disorder Sourcebook and more, Carolyncostin.com"This book wins a gold medal! Dr. Kate Bennett innovatively unites the clinical and athletic worlds to bring you an original, applicable and action-focused guide to support athletes with eating disorders! She brings her creativity and expansive knowledge to the court to provide the field with this much needed resource. This book is a must-read for any clinician or coach that wants to deepen their understanding of eating disorders and strengthen their work with their athletes!" —Amanda S. Tierney, MS, CSCS, CEDS, strength and conditioning coach at the Victory Program at McCallum Place, founder of Discovering Balance: Fitness Coaching and Support"I highly recommend Dr. Bennett’s new book, Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders for everyone, including primary care providers, therapists, athletic coaches or individuals who have struggled or are struggling with disordered eating. Dr. Bennett’s book is the first book I’ve come across in my 3 decades of medical practice that goes beyond providing definitions for specific DSM disorders. Refreshingly, she recognizes that the approach to helping athletes recover from disordered eating is different. This book is ground-breaking, easy to read for both medical and non-medical providers, and a wonderful handbook mapping out key elements for diagnosis and treatment for all stages of recovery. As a provider who is privileged to work with athletes at all levels (professional to recreational), and an MD who believes in evidence-based medicine, I know that this book will become one of my trusted resources!" —Kiki (Nicole) Silver, MD, ABAARM, founder/owner of Boulder Peak Health, PC, www.boulderpeakhealth.com "Athletics is a unique, pressure-packed performance culture that some mental health professionals do not fully understand. While sports present opportunities for self-esteem, social support, and resilience, sport participation also increases risk for eating disorders. When athletes develop eating disordered behaviors, they need professionals who appreciate the distinctive dynamics involved in recovery and wellness in an athletic system. This book is a fantastic primer for teaching such cultural competence to professionals in mental health, athletic medicine, and sports nutrition. Dr. Bennett starts with the fundamentals of diagnosis, treatment, biology, and medical complications. Section two enhances understanding of athletic culture by exploring norms, identity, imbalances, and barriers to treatment. A diversity of case examples illustrates these principles. Section three (my favorite) embraces the best aspects of sport to battle one of the toughest opponents athletes face: the eating disorder. How can athletes bring their grit, competitiveness, training, and drive for excellence to the pursuit of health and balance? Dr. Bennett provides insightful and creative strategies that I’m excited to implement in my own practice." —Jen Carter, PhD, ABPP, lead sport psychologist, Ohio State University Sports Medicine, associate professor, Clinical, OSU Psychiatry and Behavioral Health"The author of this remarkable book highlights unique strategies which offer exceptional guidance to those in the role of supporting elite athletes with body image and/or eating concerns. As both a seasoned clinician and elite athlete, Dr. Kate Bennett skillfully teaches us how to understand and interpret the nuances of an athlete's experience – such as the pursuit of perfection –which can negatively affect not only performance but the ability to maintain one’s health and well-being. Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders will be a pivotal resource where the reader will learn of useful approaches on how to reduce ongoing stress levels, work through the pressure to perform - and equally important, address unhealthy eating disordered thoughts and behaviors. As a provider honored to be on this journey with countless athletes, this "roadmap to recovery" will be recommended to each and every colleague on behalf of the athletes in their care. This is a must read for the entire athletic community!" —Dawn Hynes, MSW, founder and CEO, Hynes Recovery Services"Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders is a brilliant manual for athletes, coaches and sports psychologists alike. In a world of pop-culture treatments for serious psychological ailments, Dr. Bennett is a breath of fresh air with practical advice based on evidence and practice." —Jason Koop, author of Training Essentials for Ultrarunning"In my work as a clinician in a sport setting, I am often looking for substantive resources for myself and my clients. Dr. Bennett’s book provides just that. This book takes a developmental approach to educate the reader to the nuances of eating disorders, sport, and the coming together of those two worlds. Her balanced approach of using research, anecdotes and case studies is a refreshing way of approaching such a complex and concerning topic." —Christopher M. Bader, PhD, LP, CMPC, counseling & sport psychologist"This book is one of the first of its kind to take the traits that make an athlete excel and use those towards their recovery from an eating disorder. Dr. Bennett combines common language with familiar sport tactics to improve clinicians’ ability to connect with their athlete. Kate's knowledge as an athlete and coach help clinicians understand the line between what is driven and what is destructive. One must understand the culture in sport and the culture in society that our athletes live in. This resource is unique in its consideration of both. A must for all clinicians treating athletes with eating disorders." —Rebecca McConville, MS, RD, LD, CSSD, CEDRD-S, sports specialist and eating disorder dietitian supervisor, Rebecca McConville Consulting"This is a must read for anyone that works with athletes in the coaching, high performance, academic or sports medicine space. It also holds great insight for parents working to ensure their young athletes are maintaining optimal health in the pursuit of their performance goals. Dr. Bennett expertly presents the complexity of eating disorders with a tenor of eloquence and empathy while maintaining resolute focus on problem solving and patient treatment." —Derick Williamson, MEd, USA Paratriathlon Resident Team coach, USA Paratriathlon National Team coach, USAC, USAT and USA Paratriathlon certified coachTable of ContentsPart I Foundations for the Treatment of Eating Disorders; 1.

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.
