Rezensionen
'Performing Under Pressure: Psychological Strategies for Sporting Success by Josephine Perry strikes a great balance between reviewing relevant scientific evidence and presenting easy to follow practical tips for how to perform more effectively under pressure. As such, the book provides a great overview of core psychological factors both influencing and determining performance under pressure, and also presents good evidence-based interventions. I would recommend this book to both students wishing to understand more about sport psychology and athletes seeking to both understand and enhance their own mental performance.' - Stewart Cotterill, Head of School, School of Psychology, Sport and Physical Activity; Professor of Sport and Performance Psychology; AECC University College

'There's lots of chatter these days about the mind's power to push you onward or hold you back athletically. In Performing Under Pressure, Josephine Perry goes beyond the clichés to explore which mental factors matter most - and, crucially, provides us with a comprehensive and evidence-based toolkit to build our psychological strengths and shore up our weaknesses. Perry's well-organised and highly readable approach will help athletes, coaches, and students put the theories of sports psychology into practice when in matters most: in the heat of competition.' - Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance
