About the book:

"Mental toughness is an inherent trait." "Psychology in sport is only for athletes in crisis." "Weight management is just willpower."

The worlds of sport and physical activity are saturated with mental dogmas and pop-psychology clichés. But what does the science actually say?

In Myths of Sport and Exercise Psychology, leading sport psychologists, coach developers, and applied researchers unpack the most persistent misconceptions across high-performance culture, exercise adherence, talent development, and psychological safety. From the realities of cognitive behavioural approaches to group cohesion and officiating pressures, this collection challenges conventional wisdom to help practitioners, coaches, and athletes cultivate grounded, evidence-informed mindsets.
