SCOPE: Psychology plays an
important role in the mental preparation of athletes.
Factors such as self-esteem, body image,
self-consciousness, and fear of failure are just some of
the many psychological aspects that affect an athlete’s
performance. Sports psychologists assume the role as
mentor to help foster positive attitudes that enhance
performance. The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve
as a guideline for student research. It is not intended
as a comprehensive listing of all the resources
available in the library, but as a selective sampling of
the many types of resources available.
