My life as a student and as a future UWS graduate with an Ed.D. and as a AASP certified sport psychology consultant is based on a strength-based approach with evidence-based resources to back my education, my expertise, my consulting, my self-reflection, and my self-assessments toward development and improvment of my strengths. According to Welfel (2016), “The best strategy is the development of a professional ethical identity through formal education and involvement in a graduate program…

6. How did you limit/narrow your search? I knew that at the beginning the paper said I wasn’t aloud to pick jobs that are related to psychology, sociology, or anthropology, but Ms.Kelly said it was ok to for my type of scenario. For this case it was so easy to narrow down my search because sports psychology is just a specific job but there are so many different ideas that go behind the job as a whole. 7. Describe the search terms (e.g., conformity) you tried…

The discussion of mental toughness has to be the number one discussed topic in sport psychology. It seems that everyone is on the same sheet of music agreeing that it’s vital to success, but it’s very debatable to "what is mental toughness?” All of the definitions of mental toughness in this article sound really tasty and easy to bite off on.

“The Mighty Ducks”: A Sport’s Psychology View To practice implementing sport psychology concepts, I chose the 1992 film, The Mighty Ducks to be my example situation.

Estevez plays Gordon Bombay, a high powered lawyer who will do…

Generally, sport psychologists advise athletes to utilize music in order to prepare for competition (Karageorghis & Terry 1997: 57). Research suggests that music will influence arousal if it promotes thoughts that encourage physical activity or relaxation (Gfeller 1988: 31). In other words, the association between certain types of music and physical activity may act as a stimulus.

Pushed too Far In the United States of America, sports make up a large part of our culture. It's no surprise that most parents in America want their children to succeed in the world of sports. While some parents push their kids to achieve with only the best in mind for them, sometimes it can backfire if they push their children past their limit. Pushing a child past his or her mental and physical limit can have lasting side-effects. Most sports start to rapidly become more and more serious as…

muscle strength (Kolen, 2016). When referring to the intensity there are two different types, Moderate and Vigorous. Moderate intensity is when the child sweats a little and causes the child to be a little out of breath (Canadian Society Exercise Psychology, [CSEP] 2012). Vigorous intensity is when the child sweats and becomes out of breath (CSEP, 2012). It is important for children in this age group to spend less time being sedentary each day (CSEP, 2012). CSEP (2012) recommends that if…
