	Myths About Sports Psychology - Article by Bill Cole
		One somewhat objective measure of which sports seem to be the most mentally demanding could be based on the volume of literature on the psychological aspects of the sport.
		Sports psychology at its core is essentially an educational approach, while psychotherapy is a therapeutic one.
		Sports psychology does not aim to alter a person's personality, but one of its goals is to take the performance aspects of the athlete's mind and body and maximize their natural talents.

	H-Net Review: George Marsden on Muscular Christianity: Manhood and Sports in Protestant ...
		Though the Promise Keepers is less about sports than about spiritual renewal, personal commitments, and responsibilities, we now take for granted that athletics and evangelical Christianity often go hand-in-hand in America.
		By the 1880s American Protestant churches, which often had backgrounds of Puritan or Methodist aversions to sports, were routinely endorsing the culture of physical vigor.
		Representatives of emerging liberal Protestantism saw it as a way of helping to develop "character" and "manliness," in the sense of being "civilized." The ideal man was both strong and responsible, dedicated to serving others.
