Self-talk has drawn the interest of sport psychology professionals, researchers, athletes, and coaches who are eager to understand the origins and correlates of self-talk, how self-talk affects them, and how self-talk can be used to enhance sport performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Starting from a strong theoretical foundation and addressing self-talk in sport myths, this volume moves on to one of the greatest challenges in sport self-talk literature, the crisis of validity of self-talk measurement tools, and provides direction and examples of valid and reliable tools for sport self-talk research. Chapters bring together authors from diverse theoretical backgrounds and fields, and offer tools for coaches and mental health providers to measure self-talk, and examine different approaches to self-talk, including ecological and embodied cognition, and draw important links between self-talk and other areas of cognitive functioning, such as emotion regulation. ","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53729553645912,"sku":"9781433839986","price":52.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433839986.jpg?v=1777655722","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/principles-of-self-talk-in-sport-settings-theory-research-and-practice","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
