| A Delphi poll of sport psychology experts was conducted to identify the anticipated future of several key components of the field of sport psychology. These four components were: core identity issues, training issues, research issues, and credentialing issues. It was found that experts within sport psychology believed that the field will become increasingly diverse and multi-disciplinary, and will continue to expand its use of multiple research methodologies. It was also expected that training approaches will increasingly expand and overlap, with an increasing reliance on other related fields for cross-training. In addition, it was found that there was little consensus on the future of credentialing within the field, but projections support some type of certification offered by professional organizations. |
