And which one do you recommend?
A. Not much - they might use slightly different databases and so might access slightly different articles but generally speaking they all do the same thing. I prefer the interface of web of science. I also use EBSCO. I rarely use Pub Med. Try them all and decide which one you like best.  ]]> 2017-09-29 12:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/m_i_jones/c8rzp0xcyc5h/wish/192407554 ANSWER FROM MARTIN Is there an opportunity to receive feedback on our coursework throughout the module (to prevent us going off in the wrong direction)? https://padlet.com/m_i_jones/c8rzp0xcyc5h/wish/193054678 Thanks

Motivation provides the spine the module. We are covering major theories of motivation and then looking at aligned topics like doping, burnout and perfectionism. The idea is to provide you with specific sport psych material and with knowledge of an area that is relevant to you if you don't do any more sport psych or choose a career outside of sport / exercise.
