Existential Psychology and Sport

Viac o knihe

The existential approach presented by Mark Nesti challenges conventional cognitive-behavioral models in sports psychology by focusing on an athlete's unique emotional landscape. Rather than promoting standard techniques like visualization for performance enhancement, this perspective seeks to uncover deeper, often indirect emotional factors that may limit an athlete's potential. This radical alternative emphasizes understanding the individual experiences and feelings that shape an athlete's performance, offering a more personalized path to overcoming challenges.
