"Sports psychology is a developing field that specializes in the relationship between the psyche and sports. There are several ways in which this works. Educational Psychology by its very nature is treated as a science. Like science it employs different objective methods of data collection, experiments and drawing inferences. It deals with the study of an organised and systematic body of knowledge concerning human behaviour of all kinds. ports psychology is a growing profession and many athletes seek the services of psychologists, trainers, and coaches who can help them with the mental aspects of sports training. Sports psychology is the study of how psychology influences sports, athletic performance, exercise, and physical activity. Some sports psychologists work with professional athletes and coaches to improve performance and increase motivation. Other professionals utilize exercise and sports to enhance people's lives and well-being throughout the entire lifespan. This book is a combination of several disciplines within psychology and sports science. Aspiring graduates can take various pathways in their education as well as in their career. Employment opportunities in sports psychology may involve counseling/ therapy, teaching, coaching, research, and others."--Back cover
