Sign up for our 20-hour workshop today. The specialization in sport psychology is designed for students interested in the application of psychology principles to working with amateur and professional athletes concerning issues of performance enhancement, motivation and stress management. A related area of interest is performance recovery following injury. Sport psychologists also apply these techniques to the business work and the performance of managers and executives. Graduates typically pursue positions with professional sport teams, college athletic departments, amateur athletics including diversified athletic and fitness centers.
Some sport psychologists collaborate with sport medicine physicians and rehabilitation specialists.
These individuals are typically part of group practice. Many doctoral level sport psychologists also teach and engage in research at the university level. I am pleased to introduce you to the School of Psychology's innovative online curriculum, and to our faculty of leading scholar-practitioners. Soon, Capella's monthly e-mail newsletter, ShortCourse , keeps you on top of the latest information on psychology education, and professional development opportunities. Look for us at the APA convention in August.
