Dr Brian Hemmings, Sports Psychology Consultant based in Northampton, UK Dr Tim Holder, Reader in Applied Sport Psychology, St. Mary's College, Twickenham, UK

"Overall, the text is a sensibly organized, well referenced and
scholarly volume. It blends solid theoretical underpinnings with
the applied practice of psychologists with athletes, teams, and
organizations." (American Psychological Association, Summer
2010)

"A very welcome addition to sport psychology library.... Great
insights into the practical challenges and quandaries sport
psychologists are faced with. Its user friendly layout, practical
nature, and detailed real-life experiences of working with athletes
in the applied field makes it an enjoyable read not only for
students, academics, and trainee sport psychologist, but also for
range of sport professionals." (The Sports Psychologist,
December 2009)

"Applied Sport Psychology: A Case-Based Approach edited
by Brian Hemmings and Tim Holder is without a doubt a very
welcome addition to sport psychology library. I personally could
not think of better persons to edit such a book, as both authors
are not only exceptional academics, but also highly reputable sport
psychology consultants." (Dr. Monna Arvinen-Barrow, The University
of Northampton, 2009)

"A strength of the book is the emphasis given to reflective
practice. The best case-studies, explore evaluations of
intervention(s) and consultant effectiveness in depth and
demonstrate the importance of relationship aspects of consulting.
These sections within the book are essential reading for students
and would likely benefit a far-reaching audience of practicing
psychologists in any field." (Jonathan Bint, The Psychologist,
2009)

"Between them the authors have a wide range of experience,
expertise and philosophy. The quite unique combination of
these attributes in each case study ensures the content of the book
it extremely varied and for that reason stimulating and
engrossing." (Prof. Ian Maynard, Sport and Exercise Psychology
Review)

"This publication provides a welcome addition to the sport
psychology literature in moving away from the traditional
research/theory/review-style texts and describing what applied
sport psychologists actually do." (Dr. Neil Weston, The Sport
and Exercise Scientist (BASES) )
