In Inside Sport Psychology Dr Costas Karageorghis and
Professor Peter Terry present a comprehensive guide to using
mental training to maximize sport performance. The authors’
applied work has been featured in top newspapers, including

The Wall Street Journal. They have served as consultants to
hundreds of athletes at the Olympic and World Championship
level, as well as to a number of blue-chip companies.
Presented in a user-friendly format, the guide covers key
aspects of sport psychology, including the most effective
methods for enhancing performance and preparing mentally for
important competitions. Integrating up-to-date research ndings
with real-life events, the authors include psychological principles
associated with over 20 sports, including soccer, rugby, tennis,
golf, shooting and track and eld. Mental imagery is discussed
and a wide variety of visualization exercises included. Tips are
given to help athletes adopt a positive mental attitude, as well as
how to manage fl uctuations in mood to maintain consistency in
their performance.
Inside Sport Psychology demonstrates how to apply
psychology in a range of sport settings by offering an accessible
and evidence-based approach. Explaining what works and what
doesn’t, it is an ideal resource for athletes and coaches wishing
to incorporate sport psychology into training and competition.
‘I studied sport psychology under Costas and Peter in the
four-year period before I won the superheavyweight gold at the
Sydney Olympics. Since then I’ve enjoyed many high points and
experienced a few low points in my professional career, but the
principles that those guys taught me while I was at Brunel have
always stayed with me. When I damaged my right shoulder and
came back against the odds in the 11th to knock out Michael
Sprott for the European title, I was thinking “stay calm, focus on
the here and now” just like I was taught all those years ago.
I knew it was my time to shine again!’
—Audley Harrison, MBE Current European heavyweight
boxing champion, former Commonwealth and Olympic
superheavyweight boxing champion
‘While at Brunel I studied sport psychology with both authors.
During that period I learned techniques to improve my mental
strength and composure under pressure. With the advent of
professionalism at the time, those skills put me ahead of my
peers. I realized that without psychological preparation, my
physical attributes were insuffi cient. I realized that it was
necessary to push myself toward the goals of becoming an
international player and, ultimately, of winning the World Cup
with England in 2003.’
—Richard Hill, MBE Former rugby union player for the England
national team (71 caps) and British and Irish Lions (5 caps), 2003
World Cup winner with England
