Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This book is ideal for trainee and practising sport psychologists seeking a clear, structured framework to enhance their consulting skills and professional practice.
In this approachable and accessible guide, Richard Keegan explores and illustrates the key roles that effective sport psychologists perform. With a wealth of practical advice, real-world examples, engaging anecdotes, and an integrated case study, this is the best possible resource for anyone interested in a career in sport psychology.
"I think that the current proposal is very timely ... A worthwhile addition to the literature ... The book's author is a respected figure within sport psychology with a wealth of applied knowledge and experience ... I believe there are numerous students crying out for a book of this nature ... I would be very interested in reading a book of this nature and would certainly consider recommending it students on our MSc course, undergraduate students with ambitions to undertake further sport psychology training and trainee sport psychologists alike." - Iain Greenless, Chichester "This is a timely, and well put together proposal. The author has clearly thought through the underpinning philosophy of the book ... If the issues focused on bringing the material to life are addressed, it would most certainly be on the reading lists for my modules." - David Alcock, UWE "Useful, it appears to address a gap ... It would be very useful along with other texts for the modules mentioned above." - Hayley Mcewan, University of West Scotland "There are some strengths to the proposed book that will make it useful for neophyte practitioners at the postgraduate level. The inclusion of supervision, mentoring and CPD is one strength and the presentation of an overarching formula for consulting is another strength. If the balance is found among the topics then I think it would be an excellent book for trainees and postgraduate students." - D: David Tod, Aberystwyth "I think it will be a great addition to the library of sport psychology in the UK. It is covering topics that we cover already in our program here at my university, but we don't have a book that the students can use. I agree with much of what the author has written, especially where he states that not enough of the 'how to' texts exist in sport psychology to guide student decisions ... I would love to help adapt this book for the US market once he does it for the UK market." - Alison Rhodius, JFK University
