Welcome

Welcome to the official site for Closing the Gap: Applied Sport Psychology for High School, by David L. Rockwood, the first sport psychology textbook specifically targeting high school students. It is intended to be used for a one semester high school course, but could also be read and used by any athlete or coach interested in improving their game.

This website is a companion to the book. The site includes resources for high school teachers of sport psychology, online activities for high school students of sport psychology, and a portal to the book's distributor.

It is my hope that you find this site useful in your quest for excellence!

After you've explored the site, take a minute to rate it (five minutes or less).
