{"product_id":"9781433839986","title":"Principles of Self-Talk in Sport Settings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the theory and practice of self-talk in sports performance, with a special emphasis on approaches that move beyond linear, cognitively-focused understandings of self-talk.   Self-talk generally begins when children are 2-3 years of age and continues into adulthood, as people talk to themselves both internally and out loud. 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.   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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51264567378194,"sku":"9781433839986","price":106.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781433839986.jpg?v=1774735252","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781433839986","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
