Great job adding a completely new section! However, it can be cleaned up. Suggested changes will be underlined or strikethrough.

"Roles can change d based on the employment of others in the organization from coaching staff to athletes."

I'm having trouble understanding this sentence. Are you saying athletes can be sports psychologists?

Is it even necessary to mention?

Be careful about using biased language like "in most situations". You don't have to necessarily lead your fact with an opening sentence either. Just state the fact in a way that flows with the rest of the section like Dr. Rahn has done with her edits.

I agree that you could find a more updated source. Hopefully, it will have similar information. You've made such progress, so it would be terrible if you had to rewrite this section. Either way, it's a good addition and has significant relevance in society.

Reading through the article, I noticed there are big chunks of text that do not have citations. Make sure you make note of these. The first instance is in the lead section to give you a starting point.

The Characteristics of Behavioral Sports Psychology, Social validation in sports psychology, and Skill acquisition sections also don't seem to fit in the history section.

The Debate over the professionalization of sport psychology and Applied Sport Psychology Today sections would probably be more appropriate toward the end of the article.

Some section titles are not consistently capitalized. Some capitalize the first word while others capitalize all important words. I don't know Wikipedia's stance on which they prefer, but it definitely needs to be consistent.

Professional Sports
'In the realm of professional sports, the role of a team psychologist is subject to change. Roles can change d based on the employment of others in the organization, from coaching staff to athletes. Although sports psychologist s can benefit a professional sports organization in many different ways, they are typically brought in for a specific purpose. Examples of services performed include : performance enhancement services, clinical or counseling services, and psychological testing services are generally the roles in which psychologist serve. Through performance enhancement services, psychologist s help professional athletes self-regulate through individual sessions or programs designed for group training programs while also enhancing team cohesion. Sports psychologists in professional sports organizations also must be well - trained in clinical or counseling psychology to help professional athletes deal with personal issues that occur off the field. Professional athletes face difficulties off the field just like other people, but in most situations, don't get much time off to deal with them. Performing psychological testing is another role sports psychologist are brought onboard for. Psychological testing is generally used in pre-drafting situations as professional sports teams want to identify psychological factors that could negatively influence a draft candidate ' s potential.
