Book excerpt: The Athlete Apperception Technique sets out a sport-specific projective test for practitioners working in sport and exercise service delivery or counselling work with athletes and coaches. The AAT will help sport practitioners identify and assess personality features, relationships, anxieties, achievement, motivation, and perfectionism, and augment the recent shift in orientation for service delivery to athletes and provide a more in-depth understanding of athletes’ characters. As such, it is useful supplementary reading for students of sport psychology and a novel tool for any practicing sport psychologist.
