It provides information on sport psychology research, experiences in sport psychology practice, and the implementation and use of sport psychology findings and procedures in competitive, school, health, and recreational sport. The journal is therefore aimed at both researchers and practitioners: Coaches at all levels, teachers, therapists, supervisors, organisers, officials and other interested parties.
