Sport psychology is a discipline that has been able to carve out its own space within psychology and sports sciences and their teaching. The main topics that this subject deals with concern eight major areas: cognitive processes involved in motor control and sports performance; psychological skills involved in different types of disciplines; motivational processes; the role of the coach and training organization; sports programs for children; well-being and health; interpersonal skills and group dynamics; self-regulation processes, levels of activation and systems to deal with competitive stress. In “Fondamenti di psicologia dello sport” (Il Mulino, 296 pages, 27 euros) Alberto Cei illustrates the knowledge that sport psychology has acquired in these main areas and provides a panorama capable of satisfying teachers, students and also those who are interested or want to approach this discipline (Source: Tuttosport).
