"The psychological health of competitive athletes is of paramount importance to performance, retention, and wellbeing in sport, and national governing bodies are increasingly concerned with its promotion. Psychosocial Health and Wellbeing in High-Level Athletes offers students, researchers and practicing sport psychologists an accessible and rigorous grounding in the manifestations of psychosocial health in athletes, the threats athletes face to their psychosocial health, and the interventions which can be designed to enhance it"-- Provided by publisher.
