The notes provided on this page are to be used as a general outline of what will be covered during class lectures. You will need to add to the notes from the readings and lecture.

Success is a journey, not a destination
- Ben Sweetland

You will need to read the chapters and answer the questions at the end of each chapter and listen during lecture to be prepared for quizzes and exams.

To become a scholar you must study long and hard and gain mastery in one or more disciplines. This is your opportunity to dig deeper into sport and exercise psychology. Take advantage of this opportunity.

We need education in the obvious more than investigation of the obscure.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
