Document Summary
The development of the practice of sport psychology has been hindered by the lack of a clear understanding of what the field encapsulates. The unique aspect of sport psychology is its focus on performance excellence, and thus we propose the field be identified as performance psychology. Future training in sport psychology should address four competency areas: performance excellence, mental health counseling, consulting psychology, and performance specialty domain(s). One aspect of training that deserves specific attention is supervision, as it is necessary experience for ethical practice. Each of these is a critical competency for the profession of performance psychology. Finally, we call for an exam-based licensure specific to performance psychology. Participants were 108 male football players from 6 teams in a ncaa division i. Using multivariate analysis of variance and discriminant analysis, the current research attempted to determine factors from demographic information, the ten-item personality inventory, and the athletic coping skills.
