Sport Psychology is one area of psychology that is of increasing importance, and thus potential interest, for school, organizational, and clinical psychology practitioners is that of organized sports--particularly interscholastic, collegiate, and professional athletes. GSAPP's sport psychology concentration is one way of equipping students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to function in this area. The purpose of the sport psychology concentration is to educate and train graduate students and others in aspects of the practice of sport psychology.

• Intention: Given this purpose, students may become specifically informed by developments in sport psychology, through specializing in sport psychology while pursuing their psychology degrees. This knowledge may help future practitioners in providing guidance and counsel to children, parents, coaches, business professionals, coaches, and others in school.
• Domain: Relevant areas of sport psychology include psychological assessments, athlete consultations, behavioral interventions, substance abuse, academic support services, as well as other areas.
