You can find a number of books, and lists of books, on applied sport psychology at other websites, so they are not duplicated here. There are fewer lists of resources, however, on (a) the mental benefits of exercise, (b) the application of sport psychology to general well-being and (c) readings in Performance Psychology. Some of our favorites are indicated below.
