The Peer Guide to Applied Sport Psychology for Consultants in Training

Peer-to-peer guidance is a valuable source of knowledge development in the classroom, where instructors facilitate student-to-student collaborative learning. This new text will build on this dynamic and provide a venue in which students, in collaboration with their mentors in co-authored chapters, will take the lead in communicating salient lessons from their own applied sport psychology graduate training. While emphasizing the importance of the students‘ "voice," each chapter addresses the most frequently encountered challenges and opportunities present in preparing for the practice of sport psychology.
