Imagery in Sport
It has long been known that almost all elite athletes use imagery and that most sport psychologists apply imagery in working with athletes. But most material on the subject has been, to this point, relegated to single chapters in books, to journal articles, or to conference proceedings. Now Imagery in Sport addresses the breadth of what researchers and practitioners in sport psychology know about the topic, and it treats each issue in depth, considering current theories and research on imagery and its application in sport. The reference also addresses future directions in research and practice for imagery in sport. In doing so, Imagery in Sport provides the most comprehensive look at the sta...

With twenty-six chapters by leading researchers, the book connects and integrates findings from fields that range from philosophy of mind to sociology of sports. The chapters show not only that sports can tell scientists how the human mind works but also that the scientific study of the human min...
Pure Sport
Are you "only as good as your last game"? Is it really just a matter of "keeping your eye on the ball"?

As the title suggests, Pure Sport goes back to basics by highlighting practical concerns for those who are involved with competitive sport at every level – from junior club to international élite. Drawing on their considerable experience as both academic researchers and applied sport psychologists, the authors present a powerful array of techniques for channelling and harnessi...
Improving Ankle and Knee Joint Stability
First book to present several physical exercises using Balancefit discs aimed to enhance the ankle and knee joint stability, as well as to improve proprioception, Improving Ankle and Knee Joint Stability. Proprioceptive Balancefit Discs Drills is addressed to a more specialised audience (coaches, physical trainers, Physical Education teachers or students). Why Balancefit discs? Mainly, the joint stability can be improved using tools such as Bosu, Wobble Board, balance board etc. But we think that the Balancefit discs (also known as Balance discs, Bobbled Balance Discs, Core Discs, or Stability Discs), in this case, are most appropriate for the drills we proposed. The advantage of the Balance...
Power Cues
Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others. He introduces seven "power cues" which are essential for any leaders in business or the public sector.

And if he ever finds the Areth that stole his son from him, she'll pay.
