This module will explore the relationship between performance enhancement psychology and other forms of personal centred therapies, such as counselling and occupation psychology. You will investigate the critical importance of extra-therapeutic variables in effective applied sport psychology. You will evaluate recent theoretical developments in the main psychological factors influencing sport performance; self –efficacy / sport confidence, motivation, stress and performance, mental rehearsal and attention. You will examine the role of emerging concepts in positive psychology; mental toughness, hardiness and dispositional optimism. The emphasis in the module is application so you will develop your knowledge and understanding in a broad performance enhancement context. This will be achieved through the use of case study material, role play and extensive practical experience. You will gain an insight into the role of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) and the British Psychology Society (BPS) in the training and accreditation of professional sport psychologists.
