It's hard to pin it down and I pull stuff from so many people. Dr. Kilgore is very good at teaching physiology and stimulating people to put ideas to paper or practice. Rippetoe is very good for strength lifting mechanics, basic anatomy, and teaching those things to beginners. Pendlay is very good at teaching the Olympic lifts and knows a great deal about programming. If he didn't love coaching weightlifting so much, we'd be talking more about him for general strength and probably powerlifting. I poopoo my bachelor's degree, but the applied anatomy (we called it "biophysical foundations of human movement") and biomechanics were integral in shaping my mindset for analyzing movement mechanics. "The Trailguide to the Body, 3rd Ed." is my most used book.
Experience. I'm a practitioner who helps people get stronger, heal injuries, and perform. Studies in this "field" are hardly scientific and usually borderline retarded.
I read a few AMA's to get an idea of what to expect and see how they went. The only entertaining one was Jamie Lewis because he's half insane (scat porn?). When I wrote the bio, I had just read his AMA, hence the reference.
That question is entirely too involved to be answered here. It would be individual specific, but I'd address it during and out of training. I'd employ progressive relaxation with visualization (I do this with Chris pretty regularly the month before a meet).
This was my undergrad textbook and is does a really good job of covering the basics (including talking about psychological skills training). Just like strength, psychological training isn't a cookie cutter approach, though.
