Lesson 01

Sport psychology is a science in which the principles of psychology are applied in a sport and exercise setting. These principles are often applied to enhance performance, however, a true sport psychologist is interested in much more than performance enrichment and sees sport as a tool for human enrichment. The sport psychologists are interested in helping every sport participant reach his or her potential as an athlete. Sport psychology is an exciting subject dedicated to the enhancement of both athletic performance and the social-psychological aspects of human enrichment. In simple terms sport psychology is the study of the effect of psychological and emotional factors on sport performance, and the effect of sport involvement on psychological and emotional factors. These psychological and emotional factors can be fine-tuned and learned which can have a positive effect on athlete’s performance in sport and his overall psychological and emotional makeup.

History of Sport Psychology

Sport psychology as a distinct field of study is extremely young and is evolving. The first clear historical example of research being conducted in the area of sport psychology was in 1897. Drawing upon field observations and secondary data, researchers found out that presence of other competitors could facilitate better cycling performance. The first sport psychology laboratory was established by Coleman Roberts Griffith at the University of Illinois in 1925. Following World War II such notable as Franklin M. Henry at the University of California, John Lawther at Pennsylvania State University, and Arthur Slater-Hammel at Indiana University pioneered graduate-level courses and developed research laboratories of their own.

1950 to 1980 are considered as the "formative years" for sport psychology. During this time, a number of research initiatives and textbooks were published. Some of the early textbooks included Psychology of Coaching, by John D. Lawther 1951, and Problem Athletes and How to Handle Them, by Bruce Ogilvie and Tom Tutko (1966).

Some initiatives in research were Warren Johnson’s work with hypnosis and athletic performance (1960s), the development and testing of anxiety inventories by Rainer Martens in (1970s and 1980s) and Albert Carron’s and P.Chelladurai's work with sport leadership and team cohesion (1970s and 1980s).

Development of Professional Organizations

A number of professional organizations have evolved since the 1960s. In 1965 the International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP) is to promote and disseminate information about the practice of sport psychology throughout the world. In North America a small group sport psychologists from Canada and the United States started work on forming their own professional organization for sport psychology. The efforts of this small group came to fruition in 1966 when it was recognized by the ISSP. The name of this new organization was the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. NASPSPA. Since then NASPSPA has evolved into an influential academic society focusing on sport psychology in the broadest sense. NASPSPA provided a forum for researches in the areas of sport psychology, sport sociology motor learning, motor control, and motor development to meet and exchange ideas and research. Shortly after the emergence of NASPSPA in the United States, another significant professional organization came into existence in Canada in 1969. This organization was named the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology (CSPLSP). In order to better address the interests and needs of sport psychologists interested in applying the principle of psychology to sport and exercise, the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AAASP) was formed in the fall of 1985. AAASP has emerged in the 1990s as the dominant association for the advancement of applied sport psychology as well as research in North America, and perhaps in the world. In addition to these specialized organizations, other associations created interest areas dedicated to sport psychology within their
