Opis

In recent years, more students have chosen to study sport and exercise psychology with a view to building careers as applied practitioners. While sport and exercise psychology master’s graduates leave university with the necessary theoretical knowledge to inform their practice, they are often left wanting to know more about creating and navigating a career within the field.

Navigating Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology provides readers with an honest and contemporary insight into the work and experiences of trainee and early career practitioners. This book delves further into the more complex and nuanced experiences of being an applied practitioner. Using case studies and reflections, the chapters explore key topics including working within multi-disciplinary teams, maintaining ethics and integral practice during challenging conversations and supporting mental health in high performance environments.

Written by trainee and early career practitioners, this book is vital reading for students, early career practitioners, and anyone interested in sport psychology.
