| Term: Fall Semester 2024 |
| Description: This course presents a comprehensive introduction to sport and exercise psychology from three perspectives: participation (e.g., positive youth development, mental health challenges and benefit, injury and role transition/loss), coaching/leadership, and clinical interventions such as sport psychology or physical activity interventions. Students will complete a project in each area (i.e., reflection on your life through sport; coaching evaluation; mental skills training program). We will review several therapeutic approaches in greater detail: Motivational Interviewing related to developing health behaviors more broadly, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within sport settings. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: Note: Can purchase either 7th or 8th edition of this book! I will be using 8th edition, but the chapters themselves are overall the same, so it is okay if you can find the prior version more cheaply. There are at least 10 copies of the 7th edition right now used from Amazon for $27 and under, there are copies at AbeBooks for as cheap as $20 (https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31898774685&searchu rl=attrs%3Dused%26ds%3D30%26isbn%3D9780078022708%26n%3D100121503%26rol lup%3Don%26sortby%3D17&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp0-_-title6), and an e-book rental for $40 from McGraw-Hill directly. |
