Sport psychology in the profession of psychology
Article Abstract:
Psychologists do not consider sport psychology as a distinct practice, despite frequent consultations and treatment of athletes or sport teams. Few have expressed interest in sports psychology research or training, thus resulting in unsupervised or inadequate information on its practice. Sports psychology recognizes the special needs of athletes on matters such as performance enhancement, life skills and rehabilitation.
