Existential Psychology and Sportpresents a radical alternative to the cognitive-behavioral approaches that currently dominate sport psychology. The book reveals how an existential perspective, with its focus on larger questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, can be used to help athletes towards career-long personal and performance development. For sport psychologists, this involves going beyond skills training to engage more fully with athletes as individuals, directly supporting them in their search for success and fulfillment through competitive sport. The book covers: the characteristics and principles of existential psychology phenomenology and research in sport the existential-phenomenological approach to anxiety existential counseling in sport psychology an existential approach to working with elite sports performers existentialism, ethics and practice in sportpsychology real-life case studies involving sports performers in a variety of settings Existential Psychology and Sport provides a new framework for understanding applied practice in sport psychology, and is essential reading for both students and practitioners.

Industry Reviews

'...I did not expect a book on sport to be as substantive, scholarly, and absorbing as I found this one. Mark Nesti's book is admirably packed with clear and cogent discussions on the foundations of existential psychology and philosophy which lead gracefully into useful examples of real-life application.' - Kirk J Schneider, Sport & Exercise Psychology Review Vol 2, Jan 2006
