"Psychology of Coaching" is a foundational exploration into the mental and emotional aspects of athletic performance and instruction. Written by Coleman R. Griffith, a pioneer in the field, this work systematically examines how psychological principles can be applied to the world of competitive sports to enhance the effectiveness of coaches and the performance of athletes.
The book delves into essential topics such as the acquisition of skill, the nature of learning in physical activities, and the psychological traits that define successful competitors. Griffith provides insights into the laws of habit formation, the role of attention and memory in sports, and the emotional management required under the pressure of competition. By bridging the gap between scientific psychology and practical field experience, the text offers a structured approach to understanding the human factor in athletics.
As an early and influential contribution to the field, "Psychology of Coaching" serves as both a historical milestone and a practical guide for those interested in the mental foundations of sport. It remains a valuable resource for coaches, educators, and students of sports science looking to understand the psychological mechanisms that drive physical excellence and leadership on the field.
