"Applied sport, exercise, and performance psychology practice has diversified considerably over the years, as consultants have explored various theoretical models to guide them in helping their clients. Applied Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology: Current Approaches to Helping Clients provides in-depth and critical coverage, from a global perspective, of the common approaches practitioners now use with clients. Chapters are supplemented with case studies showing the approaches in action. The text explores topics such as: evidence-based practice, psychodynamics approaches, family systems approaches, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural approaches, practitioner training and development, cultural considerations in practice. The comprehensive companion website is designed to facilitate a flipped classroom approach using case studies, role play scenarios, and practice exercises, suggested essay and exam questions and topics, and webcasts from the authors. This text is a vital resource for students in BPS accredited applied sport psychology courses, sport and exercise science courses, and psychology and counselling courses. It is also an invaluable read for practicing applied sport, exercise, and performance psychologists, as well as coaches and parents with some background in psychology"--
