Each chapter of the text discusses a unique motivational theory and its contemporary contribution to the field of knowledge. Whether research or practically inclined, readers will be enlightened through the use of these features:
- Presentation of differing perspectives and approaches that make up the current state of research in the most vibrant of topics in sport and exercise psychology
- Future Directions for Research and Practical Applications sections at the end of each chapter that help demonstrate how the chapters’ content is applied to real-world practice
- An extensive reference list that serves as a tool for finding further resources and continuing study of motivation
The third edition of Advances in Motivation in Sport and Exercise helps readers learn how the theories of motivation can be applied in exercise, sport, and physical activity contexts.

sport psychology in the department of kinesiology at the University of
Illinois. His research has focused on the motivational determinants of
achievement, and he has been particularly concerned with the motivation
of children in the competitive sport experience. Dr. Roberts has focused
on how coaches coach and how the climate the coach creates affects the
motivation, achievement, and persistence of children and adolescents. He
has been involved in research grants for over $2 million. He has over
200 publications, including 15 books and more than 70 book chapters. He
has several distinguished scholar awards, including the Honour Award of
the International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP, 1997) and the

motivation and the psychology of peak performance and made invited
keynote presentations at conferences in France, Norway, Finland, and the
United Kingdom. Treasure currently resides in Portland, Oregon, where he
consults with Nike in the role of high-performance director for the
Oregon Project, a program that provides elite-level Nike-sponsored U.S.
distance runners with the coaching, sports medicine, and sport science
necessary for competing at the international level and ultimately
winning medals at World Championships and the Olympic Games. From 2005
to 2009 Treasure was the author and lead consultant on a
high-performance initiative in the athletic department at the University
of California at Berkeley that enhances coaching, sports medicine, and
