Reflective Writing Sports s Psychology By Writing This...

Yet another semester is coming to an end, which means it’s time for final exams and end of the semester projects. I decided to end my journey though Sport’s Psychology by writing this individual synthesis project. Throughout this paper I will refer back to Reflective Writing Number Four, where I interview an outstanding performer with my questions focusing on three main concepts.

He was a four-year letter winner in football, indoor track, a nd outdoor track. After high school he went to Montana State University in Billings on a full ride track scholarship going for a degree in History Education. During his first year there, as a true freshman, he placed in the top four in his conference. Due to a coaching change the following year, he redshirted. During his redshirt sophomore year, he was the runner up in his conference. After his three years there, he decided to transfer to the University of Wyoming and was going to be on the track team.

What is needed is a text that will give a good idea of the breadth and complexity of this important subject, and this is precisely what McAuley, Duberley and Johnson have provided.
