"I have used Matt Jarvis' book as the basis for our in-service
sessions with our elite coaches at our Academy. Most coaches tend
to come through their training as a coach with a very good
understanding of the technical, tactical and physical areas of
development for young players. This book offers a comprehensive
coverage of the main topics in sports psychology which gives the
coaches an excellent introduction to the subject. The breadth of
the key issues covered allows our coaches to attach their own ideas
and experiences to the framework provided by this book." - John
Owens, Academy Manager, Liverpool Football Club"Here is an
introduction to sport psychology that clarifies without
oversimplifying, explains without overcomplicating and elucidates
without overwhelming the reader with an excess of detail.
Generously adorned with illustrations, case studies and practical
assignments, this is the perfect primer for one of the most
exciting areas of contemporary study." - Ellis Cashmore, Professor
of Culture, Media and Sport, Staffordshire University, UK
