How can the skills of the sport psychologist be put to best use within a football club?How can a sport psychologist help elite footballers perform at their maximum level?In this groundbreaking guide to the role of the sport psychologist within elite and professional football, leading sport psychologist Mark Nesti argues that working closely with coaches and players to create a receptive environment is vital if psychologists are to add maximum value to team and individual performances.

Drawing on a decade’s professional experience working at the top level of English football, Nesti offers a detailed guide to delivering sport psychology in an elite team sport environment, from practical drills on the training field to shaping organizational behaviour at club level.

The book explores the full range of issues and themes that define the role of the professional sport psychologist working in football today, including: mental skills traininggroup cohesion and team dynamicscounselling, trust and confidentialitytransitions in footballmanagerial and coaching philosophiesstructure, communication and organizational psychology. The book is illustrated throughout with real-world case studies, drawing on research into sixteen professional clubs across five European countries, and concludes by suggesting how other elite team sports can learn from the experiences of professional football.

This is the only book to outline a holistic approach to psychology in football and the to offer such a rich combination of theory and practice.
