The book deals with coaching essentials in football and provides an overview of psychological skills for performance development, and focuses on developing young players in football. It explores the importance of considering positive aspects of mood and its interaction with motivational aspects. The book identifies some of the behaviours and situations in football associated with being ‘mentally tough’.
