This is the first book to examine the importance of psychological factors in strength and conditioning and to offer a comprehensive overview of current research, theory and best practice. Written by a team of leading international researchers and practitioners, the book looks at how psychology influences training and performance and how training can influence an individual's psychological well-being. It explores a range of key topics in contemporary sport psychology and athletic training, including: mental skills training behaviour change psychology in professional practice psychological problems, including exercise dependence, eating disorders and steroid use Throughout, the book combines evidence-based research with discussion of the practical issues facing athletes, coaches and sport science professionals.
