Idrætspsykologi

Sammen med en lang række af Danmarks absolut bedste sportsfolk undersøger forfatterne – en fodboldtræner og en ledelsesforsker – hvad det har af konsekvenser, når man ikke primært er motiveret af at vinde, men føler sig forpligtet af sit talent til at sætte sig spor på anden måde. Ofte bliver de misforstået med et potentielt talenttab til følge.Vi tror ofte, at topatleters primære drivkraft er at vinde. At de sætter sig mål, og at deres karriere og motivation kulminerer, når de løfter trofæet eller får guldmedaljen om halsen. Men langt fra alle har det sådan. De atleter, hvis primære drivkraft ikke er at vinde, bliver ofte misforstået i en verden, der hylder de ydre præstationer. Når de bliver mødt med præstationskrav og resultatmål, mister de motivationen, de mister meningen med at dyrke deres sport, og de mister sig selv. I mødet med præstationskulturen indstiller nogle karrieren, før den overhovedet er kommet i gang, mens andre præsterer ringere og ringere, fordi deres flamme ikke længere brænder rent. Nogle bliver sat af holdet, fordi de bliver opfattet som arrogante, fordi de ikke motiveres af de målsætninger, de mødes med. Alt i alt er der risiko for et ødelæggende talenttab, hvis man ikke forstår, hvad disse atleter er drevet af, og hvordan de skal ledes.Talent tabes dog ikke kun i sportens verden. Det tabes også i erhvervslivet og i skolesystemet og andre steder, hvor den målstyrede præstationskultur dominerer. Målstyring motiverer nogle, men langt fra alle, og den motiverer slet ikke originalerne og de kreative og innovative talenter. Bogens casestudie af elitesport skal derfor illustrere et større talenttab: Det talenttab, vi som samfund ikke har råd til og derfor er forpligtet til at forhindre. Forfatterne viser gennem interviews med atleterne og arketypeanalyser, hvor store forskelle der er i, hvad der motiverer den enkelte atlet til store præstationerDeltagerne i bogen er Mikkel Kessler (boksning), Rikke Møller Pedersen (svømning), Frederik Løchte Nielsen (tennis), Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (fodbold), Rasmus Henning (triatlon), Sara Slott (hækkeløb), Rene Holten Poulsen (kajak), William Kvist (fodbold), Lisbeth Seierskilde (dressurridning), Michael Maze (bordtennis).

Focusing on sport and exercise psychology, this book provides a thorough introduction to key concepts in the field and draws connections between research and practice and captures the dynamism of sport and exercise.

Ordet præstation splitter folk. Nogle taler om ’high performance’ som om præstationer og resultater er meningen med livet. For andre er præstation et fyord associeret med forestillinger om folk der bevidstløst spæner rundt i en trædemølle. Begge opfattelser er forfejlede og udtjente. At præstere kan aldrig være et mål i sig selv. Men uden præstationer kommer vi ingen vegne. De udfordringer menneskeheden står over for, kræver at vi præsterer på et ekstraordinært niveau. Derfor må vi nytænke præstation og præstationsledelse og se det i en mere nutidig og menings-fuld kontekst.For at kunne præstere på et ekstraordinært niveau er vi nødt til at slippe mageligheden og træde ind i ubehaget. Vi skal blive bedre til at møde den usikkerhed og sårbarhed som præstation og ledelse af præstation indebærer, og være villige til at gå ad veje vi endnu ikke kender for at aktivere nye lag af vores ydeevne.Bogen fordyber sig i de psykologiske og filosofiske aspekter ved ubehag i en præstationskontekst, og udforsker hvad det vil sige at være et præste-rende menneske i vores tid. En tid, som kalder på en mere meningsfuld forbindelse mellem den ydre kompleksitet og den indre verden vi også besidder.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The only research-based guide for connecting a plant-based diet with peak athletic performance, featuring interviews with professional athletes who've made the switch from meat to plants.The Plant-Based Athlete by Matt Frazier and Robert Cheeke reveals the incontrovertible proof that the human body does not need meat, eggs, or dairy to be strong.

Hvad gør du, når du mere eller mindre frivilligt påtager dig ansvaret for at træne et fodboldhold i alderen 5-12 år – og ikke aner, hvad du skal gøre?Fodboldfar Anders Jacobsen havnede i den situation for nogle år siden, og her fortæller han om alt det, han har lært siden. På en enkel og pædagogisk måde forklarer han om træningsidéer, talentudvikling, holdudtagning, valg af udstyr, regler for forældre og alt andet, som en børnefodboldtræner kommer ud for.Hvordan skal børnene træne? Er det vigtigt at vinde? Skal alle være med hele tiden, eller skal de bedste spillere have mere spilletid?Dette er diskussioner, der foregår hvert år, når et nyt hold starter op – og det er noget, alle fodboldforældre er optagede af.Anders Jacobsen fortæller om egne oplevelser fra træningsbanen, kampe og turneringer. Her er kloge tanker om sport, holdspil og børns udvikling. Målet er hele tiden at tænke både på barnet og på fodbold.Anders Jacobsen (f. 1968) er tidligere professionel fodboldspiller fra Norge. Han har erfaring som træner for børn og arbejder derudover som gymnasielærer.

Winner of the Cross Sports International Autobiography of the Year awardIn the 1970s, Diana Nyad was widely regarded as the greatest long-distance swimmer in the world and set many world records, such as circling Manhattan Island and crossing the 102.5 miles between the Bahamas and Florida. But one record continually eluded her: becoming the first woman to swim between Cuba and the Florida Keys without a shark cage. Finally, in September 2013, after four failed attempts and at the age of sixty-four, Diana completed the crossing after two days and two nights of continuous swimming - 53 consecutive hours, 110 miles. Millions of people watched her and cried and cheered and were dazzled and amazed by her tenacity and courage. Her memoir, Find a Way, is a dramatic, page-turning account of the epic endurance quest that led to that moment, and is also a galvanizing call to live life boldly, in-the-moment, fearlessly, passionately, with no regrets. What makes this book special is that it not only recounts an astonishing and hard won triumph, though it does tell the story of an extraordinary and improbable victory. What makes this book, and Nyad herself, so incredible is the fact of her monumental courage in the face of failure. Nyad failed, and failed, and failed, and failed, but never gave up, and this memoir shows her unwavering belief in the face of overwhelming odds. It is about perseverance, tenacity and commitment on an epic scale.

Billie Jean King has called the book her tennis bible; Al Gore has used it to focus his campaign staff; and Itzhak Perlman has recommended it to young violinists. Based on W.

With chapters devoted to trusting the self and changing habits, it is no surprise then, that Gallwey's method has had an impact far beyond the confines of the tennis court. Whether you want to play music, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. In this fiftieth-anniversary edition, the principles of the Inner Game shine through as more relevant today than ever before. No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success"--

Emotions play an important role in both sport and games, from the pride and joy of victory, the misery and shame of defeat, and the anger and anxiety felt along the way. This volume brings together experts in the philosophy of sport and games and experts in the philosophy of emotion to investigate this important area of research. The book discusses the role of the emotions for both participants and spectators of sports and games, including detailed discussions of suffering, shame, anger, anxiety, misery and hatred. It also investigates the issues of collective emotions in relation to sport such as the shared joy of a football crowd when their team scores a goal. In addition, this volume examines the role of pretence and make believe in emotional reactions to sport. In so doing, it makes important contributions both to the philosophy of sport and to the philosophy of emotions, which will be of interest to researchers and students in both fields.This book was first published as a special issue of the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport.

Transitions in sport can be either normative (relatively predictable) or non-normative (less predictable) and are critical times in the development of athlete's careers. Whilst retirement from sport is inevitable, the timing of retirement can be less predictable. If an athlete copes well with the transition they may be better able to adjust to life after sport. However, not coping with the transition can lead to a crisis and negative consequences for the athlete.Transition periods from sport and in particular retirement from sport have been identified as high-risk periods for athletes in terms of psychological distress. However, circumstances surrounding the athlete's retirement are a critical factor in the transition into life after sport. Voluntarily retiring from sport for example, leads to a smoother transition than being forced into retirement through injury or deselection. Research indicates that retirement from sport should be seen as a process rather than a single moment, with many athletes taking up to 2 years to successfully transition out of sport.Currently, there are few bodies of work that are solely devoted to retirement transition. Athlete Transitions into Retirement: Experiences in Elite Sport and Options for Effective Support provides contemporary viewpoints on athlete transitions from elite sport in a global context. This volume is a collaboration of research from leading authors around the world, offering global perspectives to athlete transitions into retirement and is key reading for both researchers and practitioners in the fields of Sport Psychology and Coaching as well as the Athletes themselves.
