Self-belief, known as 'self-efficacy' by sports psychologists is widely believed to be an essential component of sporting success. This volume examines the nature of efficacy as it applies to sporting behaviour in coaches, athletes and teams.
This is a second collection of short stories by Sandra E. Waldron, some of which have been previously published, some have not. They range from general literature to the fantastic, romance, science fiction, horror, and even a western.

Instead, I suggest that it is more beneficial to characterize the division of labor in terms of the different relational aspects that underline micro-interactional task structure. Towards this aim, my project proposes that interdependence in...

"'Ignoring Gravity' is just the book to take with yo...
