European Yearbook of Sport Psychology
A publication of FEPSAC ISSN 1433–1462
With the publication of the first volume of the “European Yearbook of Sport Psychology” in Spring 1997, a new era in the development of European sport psychology started. For the first time a scientific periodical of FEPSAC was released, with the aim to give European sport psychology more recognition in the international scientific field and to increase the mutuality and the communication between the different European traditions. After three years, the “European Yearbook of Sport Psychology” was succeeded in 2000 by a new official journal of FEPSAC, called “Psychology of Sport and Exercise” published by Elsevier.
A look back
Three volumes of EYSP have been published since 1997, covering a wide range of themes, with many promising new approaches besides mainstream sport psychology. Six comprehensive current review papers, 13 contemporary research papers, and one applied report were included. 44 authors from the following 13 countries contributed: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and USA. Abstracts in the four major European languages German, French, Spanish and Russian were provided. In addition, some authors added an abstract in their language, for example Finnish, Flemish, Greek, or Italian, thus giving the EYSP the real European touch of diversity of cultures and languages.
