About this book
Written by many of the nation's leading sport psychology professionals, this book provides an in-depth educational perpective regarding the psychology of track and field.
Dr. Rick McGuire, director of the USATF Sport Psychology Program, is a contributor to this book and has been dedicated to enhancing the performance of track and field coaches through the use of sport psychology strategies, techniques and services.
Each of the chapters is tempered by performance psychology experiences gained in real world track and field settings, ranging from USA international track and field teams and four USA Olympic track and field teams.
This book also takes the classic ancient Greek approach to performance enhancement - one that stresses the unification of mind, body and spirit in the healthy pursuit of athletic and personal excellence.
4 parts to the book:
Part 1 Basics of track and field including an overview of psychology, coaching philosophy and credibility, principles and value of quality training programs
Part 2 Application of psychology principles to each track and field event.
Part 3 Individuals' different abilities to learn and perform.
Part 4 Successful performances are in part a result of each athlete's ability to lead a balanced and quality lifestyle.
