good cookbook for any aspiring sport psychologist! 4/5, I would appreciate more insight on what to actually do in clinical practice and how to guide a conversation with a client (because I still have no clue)

A fascinating guide to sports psychology and how to conduct oneself as a practitioner. I have no doubt I’ll be referring back to it in the future!
