This book is a practical manual rather than theoretical. It is approximately 111 pages. The main goal of this book is to integrate psychological skills training (PST) with other training processes of the athletic preparation program; several means of achieving this goal in numerous sport types are described. Additionally, we wish to create a relevant body of knowledge for sport psychologists, coaches, athletes, physical education students, and scientists. We trust that the information presented herein will help to improve training processes and to upgrade the preparation of athletes for competition. The chapters contain numerous real-life examples and practical tips of applied sport psychology with top elite athletes and European, World, and Olympic medalists from different sports. Both authors have worked with elite athletes; the first author focused mainly on scientific and psychological services to elite athletes, while the second author was mainly involved with the scientific (e.g. physiological and psycho-physiological) services to elite athletes. Linking theory and practice can affect athletic performance and achievements in competition. While many textbooks and scientific papers have discussed aspects of individual and team sports and provide information on psychological aspects of sport activity, this book focuses on PST and its application to the athletic preparation process. The book provides coaches, athletes, and sport psychologists with theoretical (Chapters 1, 2) and practical (Chapters 3, 4) guidance. In addition to presenting major theoretical concepts related to psychological preparation in sport, this book also shares the vast experience of a sport psychology consultant who has worked with top-level athletes, clubs, and national and Olympic teams for over 35 years

Mental Practice in Sport: Twenty Case Studies (Sports and Athletics Preparation, Performance, and Psychology)

Integrated Periodization in Sports Training &amp; Athletic Development considers the large problem of training specialists working in isolation and builds a case for integrated periodization as conceived by Tudor Bompa. The book begins by defining periodization as a specific theory and methodology, historically detailing how the term was formally derived, differentiating it from the current view of periodization as a Russian concept. Next, the authors clarify some common misconceptions of periodization by integrating evidence-based practice with emphasis on sports nutrition, psychological preparation, and training methodology. The book explores sport-specific applications of integrated periodization, development of biomotor abilities, and long-term planning. A novel paradigm for viewing adaptation is introduced, moving past homeostasis to include allostasis, and one approach (Maximum Recoverable Volume) is detailed that may be used to more effectively manage fatigue. Finally, the book includes a chapter on tapering strategies to peak athletes for competition using an integrated approach.
