Reviews

'This book presents the current themes of research in the area of Sport Psychology and exhaustively discusses all the main issues and their evolution, offering a wide picture of the current trends of theory and practice in this field. A large amount of practical examples and empirical tests fit in and supported by a theoretical frame, make this book an indispensable tool for Sport Psychology students at any level and for all people interested in sport science and psychology programs.' - International Journal of Sport Psychology (about the 1st edition)

'Lavallee, Kremer, Moran and Williams are all well respected authors in the field and have produced a 'must read' second edition to their text Sport Psychology: Contemporary Themes. Covering the core topics within the discipline in a consistent and systematic 'theory to practice' format, the book delivers an interesting, insightful and informative read. I would recommend the book to both undergraduates and postgraduates with a focus on Sport Psychology.' -- Professor Ian Maynard, Professor of Sport Psychology, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
