Self-talk has drawn the interest of sport psychology professionals, researchers, athletes, and coaches who are eager to understand the origins and correlates of self-talk, how self-talk affects them, and how self-talk can be used to enhance sport performance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Starting from a strong theoretical foundation and addressing self-talk in sport myths, this volume moves on to one of the greatest challenges in sport self-talk literature, the crisis of validity of self-talk measurement tools, and provides direction and examples of valid and reliable tools for sport self-talk research. Chapters bring together authors from diverse theoretical backgrounds and fields, and offer tools for coaches and mental health providers to measure self-talk, and examine different approaches to self-talk, including ecological and embodied cognition, and draw important links between self-talk and other areas of cognitive functioning, such as emotion regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Jordan Thibodeaux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433839989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433839986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Psychological Association (APA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christopher Jordan Thibodeaux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451172344063,"sku":"9781433839986","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bcbab1e-dea9-4a5d-813f-b049b9fefd15.jpg?v=1735876670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principles-of-self-talk-in-sport-christopher-jordan-thibodeaux-9781433839986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
