This review on Sports Psychology has drawn information from the following sources:

• In Pursuit of Excellence; Terry Orlick; Human Kinetics, US; 0-88011-380-4 This is an excellent, well written book giving a good overview of the subject.
• Coaches Guide to Sports Psychology; Rainer Martens; Human Kinetics; US. ISBN 0-87322-022-6 A very good, detailed, practical book. In places it seemed over-systematic, however this may be an appropriate approach for what it is trying to achieve. The book gives an excellent depth of information in a clearly laid out format.
• Sports Psychology: A Self-Help Guide; Stephen Bull; Crowood Press; ISBN 1-85225-568-3 This has a very good section on burn-out.
• Sports Psychology; Morris, Summers; Wiley; ISBN 0-471-33549-5
• Psychology of Sport: Behaviour, Motivation, Personality and Performance of Athletes; Butt, Dorcas; Van Nost Reinhold; ISBN 0-442-21437-5
