Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology With Web Study Guide-5th Edition

Growing field. Lots of good information about sports psychology

My first batch of teacher trainees majoring in Physical Education were initially using the 4th edition as their text book early this year. As English language is their second language, I have to prepare my lecture materials in our national language (Bahasa Malaysia)based on that text book, while at the same time cracking my head to think of some hands-on activities for them to do. As I was browsing the site for sports psychology books, this 5th edition with online study guide actually caught my attention. So, with my colleagues' recommendation, they helped me to purchase the book through amazon.com (as I'm not very IT savvy, and also I have my doubts on purchasing online products). The book arrived in good condition (securely packed), three week ahead of the estimated arrival date. Since then, there's no turning back, and I'm looking forward for the next semester to begin early next year, to fully utilize this book and its online activities for my next batch of students.

I bought the Kindle version and it was a lot cheaper this way. I like how I can change the background color to either black, white, or tan. The material was interesting but there were time when they dove into topic that are a no-brainer. I especially like the chapters about motivations and exercise adherence.

Feel smarter already

as an Assistant professor I read this book and decided to teach it to my students. and for 4 continues semesters and now the 5th I find this book the best I have come to know as a suitable undergraduate text book. very organized , very systematic, and very clear in delivering concepts and principles. in fact I have purchased the 6th edition and will start delivering it to my students soon. put in mind that I am an Arab and teaching this book to non native English speaking students (University of Bahrain, Middle East), so for native English speaking students the joy should be more. I highly recommend this book.

I haven't read much of the book as yet however, I have skimmed through it as a preview. It appears to have all the information that I need to satisfy my requirements for certification in the near future.

Textbooks aren't always the most entertaining; however, I loved this textbook. The information is great, and it is delivered in a understandable and clear manner. More importantly, there are plenty of examples, pictures, charts, and activities which strengthen the material.

Very insightful book with lots of details and cool information! Very closely related to the newest edition, pick it up instead of the new one and save $$$!

Exactly what I need for school. No complaints!

Bought for my son. He tells me it was very useful for his Sport Science degree

Great book if you interested in sport psychology or a sport student.

Lots of graphics to keep things interesting.

Perfect !
