I'm a psychology major (beginning my PhD next year) willing to practice as a sport psychologist or at least integrate physical activity in my future practice. As of now though, I would like to get some knowledge in this field and maybe offer consultation services as a sport psychology consultant within the next year.
The American Board of Sport Psychology (ABSP) offers a certification which would let me do this without having a Masters or a PhD yet, while some other organizations need them (such as the Association for Applied Sport Psychology or the Canadian Sport Psychology Association). I will probably have to take that route because there's no sport psychology specialization at my university and I would have to spend 30 000$ for an internship in Western Canada (I'm in the East...).
Did anyone hear about the ABSP certification ?
Here's the content of the certification :
1. History and Overview of Sport Psychology
2. Motor Learning
3. Neuropsychology/physiology and Cognitive Sport Psychology
4. Sport Psychophysiology and Biofeedback
5. Promotion of Wellness through Sport Psychology
6. Assessment in Sport Psychology
7. Interventions in Sport Psychology
8. Research Methods in Sport Psychology
9. Ethics and Critical Thinking in Sport Psychology
10. Sport Psychology and Psychotherapy
