Successful sport psychology professionals have benefitted from
stimulating conversations, challenging questions, support,
camaraderie, guidance, and advice offered by their graduate school
classmates. Peer relationships are vital and valued aspects of
professional development, with many of the relationships formed
during school, serving as the closest confidences and strongest
friendships throughout careers and lifetimes. Yet, the voices and
experiences of fellow graduate students are sparsely reported in
the sport psychology literature, and profoundly silent in
textbooks. The Peer Guide to Applied Sport Psychology for
Consultants in Training provides a platform for the influential
voices of peers, with whom graduate students relate and connect on
a visceral level. Mimicking the environment of a thriving
classroom, each chapter within the Peer Guide is primarily authored
by graduate students, or in some cases recent graduates, with an
academic mentor serving a secondary role. The chapter topics were
selected by the editors-all of whom are experienced graduate
instructors and have taught and mentored many young
professionals-as areas where graduate students are commonly
challenged, and correspondingly, where peer support and guidance
are most valued. These topics include developing a theoretical
orientation to performance excellence, utilizing science to guide
practice, ethics, getting the most from supervision, initial
experiences in consultation, working with both individuals and
groups, and multicultural considerations. The chapters are written
in a personal, relatable tone and provide science and practice,
challenge and comfort, humor and vulnerability, and insights and
anecdotes that are particularly meaningful and accessible coming
from peers. A unique addition to the sport psychology literature,
this volume is a key resource for developing and established
consultants alike.
