I had to get this book for class and was pleasantly surprised how easy a read it's been. Lots of good case studies and a variety of information for coaches and sport psychologists.

This book would have been fine except for the fact that it is missing chapters: 11,12,13,14,15,16,17!!! It's missing 7 chapters and so far we've been assigned chapters 10-12, and 17 to read. So annoying.
