Description
Over the past several years, both coaches and athletes have started to realize that strength, speed, and other athletic skills are not sufficient for the production of championship athletes. Athletic performance has three parts: physical preparation, technical skill, and psychological readiness. This model suggests that if any of the above areas are neglected, athletic performance will decline. However, psychological preparation is the component that is most often neglected by athletes and coaches alike. Presently, the field of sports psychology and performance enhancement is growing exponentially. However, the sources of information related to the field are extremely limited. This book provides relevant insight into the field of sport psychology.
