What Book Topics Does FiT Publishing Cover?
Updated
FiT Publishing organizes its catalog under five main book topics: Coaching & Counseling, Sport and Cultural Studies, Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology, Sport Management, and Sport Pedagogy. If you're looking for a specific subject area, browsing by topic is the fastest way to narrow the catalog. Note that as of April 27, 2026, FiT no longer accepts purchase orders or returns directly—those go through the Chicago Distribution Center—so topic browsing is for discovery, not direct ordering.
The Five Main Book Topics
| Topic | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Coaching & Counseling | Coaching practice and counseling within sport contexts |
| Sport and Cultural Studies | Sport as a social and cultural phenomenon |
| Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology | Psychological aspects of sport, exercise, and performance |
| Sport Management | Administration and business of sport organizations |
| Sport Pedagogy | Teaching and learning in physical education and sport |
These categories appear as the site's "Book Topics" navigation, so each one links to its own set of titles.
Beyond the Main Topics
The site also lists Backlist Clearance Deals and Promotions, which is a promotional category rather than a subject area. If you're hunting for discounted titles, check there separately from the five subject topics.
A Featured Books section highlights selected titles, and The Latest News and Announcements carries publisher updates—useful for tracking new releases or changes affecting the catalog.
How to Browse
- Go to the FiT Publishing site and find the Book Topics section.
- Select the topic closest to your interest (for example, Sport Management).
- Review the titles listed under that topic.
If a title you want is out of stock, the site notes that reprinting and restocking are in progress; you can email [email protected] for a status update.
What Changed Recently
FiT Publishing announced on November 26, 2025 that it is transitioning to become an imprint under West Virginia University Press. Separately, the journals IJSF and SMQ are now published by Sage. These changes affect publishing operations, but the topic structure above reflects how the book catalog is currently organized.
