Sports Psychology Consultation Process
The sports psychology consultation process can be overwhelming. However, the benefit to great processes is that they are structured and repeatable. This process is no exemption. Below is a general outline of the Spots Psychology Consultation process. This general process is tailored based on the specific needs of the athlete and methodology used by the sports psychologist.

1. Initial Assessment
As with all things, the beginning sets the stage for success. The initial assessment is a really important step in the consultation process. This is where the sport psychologist meets with the athlete or athletic team to understand the needs and goals. Various techniques can be used during this step such as interviews, observations, psychological tests.

2. Goal Setting
Based  on the assessment, the sports psychologist and athlete will collaborate to set achievable goals. The goals can be performance related or focused on improving mental skills. Goals can even focus on processes; the actions, strategies and techniques surrounding excellent performance.

3. Intervention Implementation
Although sport psychologist interventions are not standardized, there are a few that are common in the field. Some of the common interventions include but are not limited to visualization, relaxation and breathing, self talk, pre performance routines, resilience training, and team cohesion.

4. Monitoring and Adjustment
In order to substantiate an athlete's or team's improvements, progress must be monitored. During the monitoring step feedback is provided and the necessary adjustments follow thereafter. It is important to remember this is a feedback loop and operates in a manner that the feedback feeds into adjustments made and vice versa.

5. Follow Up
It is essential that progress or improvements are maintained. It can also be good to follow up to see if the goal was met. Follow up can be a way to end the consultation process, but it can also serve as a basis to repeat the consultation process.

This is a general outline. Based on the source and background, the above process could vary. This process demonstrates the essence of Sports Psychology, it's method, and how it is used today.Welcome to Wikipedia! This page is a sandbox, an area where you can experiment and test edits.
