Book Description
The use of case studies is a well-established and effective learning method in business, law, and medical school, but its use is new to the field of sport psychology. As the practice of sport psychology requires analysis of problems and decision making on a daily basis, the cases presented afford students the opportunity to think critically about practical situations and generate solutions to issues and problems. Rotella's new text offers realistic situations to encourage the process of contemplation issues, posing and answering relevant questions, discussing alternatives, and applying strategies. The cases are easily incorporated into class discussion and encourage relating theory to practice. Questions at the end of each case can be used to spur and provide direction to discussion.
