Earlier this year the system used to register and regulate psychologists was given a massive shake up in Australia – mostly for the better it would appear. One of these changes was clarifying the names of the 9 types of psychologist. Our group was updated to “sport and exercise psychologists”. The Condor Performance team feel that this new label will be misleading as it implies we help people to exercise more. This may be the case for many sport psychs – but not us. Most of our clients exercise plenty but come to us for help on the mental side of their performance (practice and competition).
Having said that we’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject.
