"Educational psychology is the study of how people learn, including teaching methods, instructional processes, and individual differences in learning. The goal is to understand how people learn and retain information. Sport and Exercise Psychology is the study of psychological and mental factors that influence, and are influenced by, participation in sport, exercise and physical activity, and the application of this knowledge to everyday settings. Applied sport and exercise psychology consists of instructing athletes, coaches, teams, exercisers, parents, fitness professionals, groups, and other performers on the psychological aspects of their sport or activity. Educational sport psychologists assist participants in sport to optimize performance enhancement through, for example, use of imagery and attentional focus. The present book addresses the benefits and risks of using sport to promote the development of self-esteem, identity, and feelings of competence in students. The book also presents perspectives, programs, and procedures for working with administrators and coaches to help students develop physically, mentally, and emotionally.
