This session will highlight the significance of focusing on the development of harmonious working relationships between coaches and sport psychologists to support athletes in their pursuit of sporting excellence. Although the practice of sport psychology may consist and be informed by different disciplines and theories, the central theme shared by our national athletes, was that of a mediator, bridging the gaps (e.g., miscommunication, misunderstandings) between athletes and their entourage, specifically the coach. However, athlete engagement or disdain for sport psychology services is highly dependent on coaches’ perceptions and beliefs of sport psychology and what it has or does not have to offer. If coaches and sport psychologists can develop relationships built on trust, and value each other's contribution to athletic development, both parties can effectively collaborate and draw on a collective breadth and depth of knowledge from multiple sources to maximise the potential support rendered to athletes.
