This book is like a supermarket cart after a twenty-minute journey around the aisles: brimming with all manner of assorted products, some essential, others minor extravagancies, but all of which will get used at some point. Like the consumables from the supermarket, the contents of this book will not be enough to get the shopper through the whole week, and visits to other, more specialist stores will be needed. But there will be enough staples to get started, and many of the goods will be kept in the fridge and used at a later stage. Purpose The purpose of the book is quite simple: to provide a working A–Z of the key concepts in sport and exercise psychology. Why working? Because this reference source is not intended to sit on a bookshelf waiting in abeyance to be consulted every so often. It’s meant to be carried around in a bag or a case, consulted daily, scrawled with handwritten notes and daubed with highlighter. Within six months of purchase, it should be dog-eared, battered and plastered with those Post-it index stickers. In other words, it’s meant to earn its keep. Organization The shopping-cart metaphor works to an extent, though, of course, no one insists on arranging their goods on the check-out belt in alphabetical order: apples, aromatic candles, avocadoes, beer, burgers, and so on. Since this is a reference book, the alphabet offers a logical system of organizing the material, though this isn’t quite as straight- forward as it seems. For example, where does ‘‘EXERCISE IDENTITY’’ go? Under ‘‘E,’’ or under ‘‘IDENTITY,’’ with a subhead exercise?Or drugs? Should it be dope, DOPING, or even performance-enhancing x INTRODUCTION drugs? And how about state anxiety? (Terms in SMALL CAPITALS have an entry of their own
