| This book presents the collection of extended papers by the invited keynote speakers and two early career awardees at the 11th ISSP World Congress of Sport Psychology. The 10 papers are grouped together in pairs in five different topics: Sport Psychology Theory and Practice; Sport Psychology Practice; Psychology of Exercise; Cognitive Psychology and Psychophysiology; Motor Skill and Expert Performance. The chapters reflect the range of important work in sports and exercise psychology, as well as clearly demonstrate the significant impact that the contributors have had on the field. Chapters in the book are destined to become classics in the field, pulling together substantial bodies of work by the presenters and their colleagues. |
