ABSTRACT

The final chapter in this book will concentrate on possibilities for future developments in the application of reversal theory to sport and exercise activity. To date, most effort has been invested in research and a promising start has been made in sport psychology practice, but the potential of reversal theory in coaching is, as yet, largely untapped. This chapter will examine reversal theory sports research, practice, and coaching in turn and set out some of the directions that future developments within each area might take.
