BACKGROUND
Over 150 participants, including undergraduates, graduate students and faculty from universities and colleges worldwide as well as practicing psychologists and sport psychology professionals and coaches have been trained in our evidence-based athlete assessment and intervention protocol. Cohorts of undergraduates have presented on research at APA annual conventions and other professional conferences. Our program has established a tradition of generating and preparing publications and making presentations on our various lines of research at important meetings. Program alumni have also continued their education in psychology, sport psychology and related fields as graduate students at top institutions throughout the United States and abroad. Our practitioner graduates include an Olympic sport psychology consultant and numerous sport psychologists who work with professional sport teams as well as practicing clinicians (psychologists and psychiatrists). Many of our students have attended on study grants and received academic credit for completing our program. Students have completed senior honors thesis projects that were based. Most recently one of our Board Certified Sport Psychologists and an ABSP summer Intern/Research Assistant contributed a chapter to the recently released Handbook of Sport Neuroscience and Psychophysiology (Routledge, 2018).
