Description

Go beyond the public perception of professional sports with this groundbreaking study. Life Story Research in Sport offers a deep look into the actual lives of elite and professional athletes, moving past the views often held by fans, journalists, and academics. Authors Kitrina Douglas and David Carless present the real life stories of elite athletes, providing careful analysis and interpretation to help you understand the reality of living in sport. This book addresses important questions regarding the athlete experience, including why elite sports people might face mental health difficulties away from the public gaze. By combining insights from psychology, sociology, counselling, psychotherapy, and narrative research, this work serves as a vital resource for anyone studying the human side of high-performance athletics. It is the first book-length study of its kind, making it an essential addition to your collection of sports science and psychology literature.
