Review: This, the latest volume in the Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science series, has been published under the auspices of the Medical Commission of the International Olympic Committee. Sport performance has been the subject of psychological enquiry for over a century; this book gives a concise summary of what is known about the effects of motivation, cognition, stress, confidence, mental preparation and team dynamics on performance.
