During the last two decades sport psychology has received significant and increasing attention from athletes, coaches, parents, and the media. Consider, for example, that exercise specialists, athletic trainers, youth sport directors, corporations, and psychologists are all using knowledge and techniques developed by sport psychology professionals to assist with improving exercise adherence, rehabilitating injuries, educating coaches, building self-esteem, teaching group dynamics, and increasing effectiveness. At the graduate level, students may engage in advanced study that allows them to investigate an area of sport psychology that is of personal interest to them. Cross-disciplinary research has been common, as some students may want to combine psychological factors within the fields of pedagogy or exercise physiology.
