“The United States Olympic Committee maintains a registry of sport psychology consultants from around the US and Canada from which to make an appropriate referral for service. These sport psychology consultants have been selected to work with Olympic athletes and national teams and must meet rigorous and demanding standards for educational training and supervised practice in order to achieve registry membership. A consultant must be an AASP (Association for Applied Sport Psychology) consultant, a licensed healthcare provider and member of the American Psychological Association (APA).”
