Review
"In Sport and Exercise Psychology: A Critical Introduction, Professor Aidan Moran succeeds in integrating critical evaluation, anecdote, and scholarly research in a manner that makes the text relevant and informative for students, practitioners, researchers and perhaps also performers. Some may raise an eyebrow at the inclusion of researchers in what is essentially an undergraduate, introductory text, but the author has a knack of summarising key issues, unanswered questions, and weaknesses in some of the higher-profile theories in a way that encourages the critical mindset we seek to harness at postgraduate level." - Robin Jackson, the Institute of Human Performance at the University of Hong Kong, in Sport and Exercise Psychology Review
'Sport and Exercise Psychology is a reference book that explains the theory and practice of helping athletes do their best when it matters most.' - Golfing, Union of Ireland Official Magazine, April/May 2004
'Aidan Moran succeeds admirably in the integration of scientific substance with real-sport examples and reference to many famous athletes and coaches. This is not merely another textbook in sport and exercise psychology. Aidan Moran has produced a book with attention to substance, communication style, organization and structure, and reader interest. Who says that academic reading cannot be enlightening as well as enjoyable?' - Robert N. Singer, University of Florida, USA
Pádraig Harrington, world top 10 golfer
A very enjoyable blend of theory and practice, and offers some fascinating insights into the psychology of sport.
