I have a strong passion for both sports as well as psychology but did not necessarily know what schooling choices would be appropriate for this path. I was wondering if there were other combinations of sports degrees and psychology degrees that one interested in sports psychology could take. Thank you. Courtney Framm Dr. Murray,

I have a Ph.D. in Sport Psychology. My program was "housed" in the sport science department, not the psychology department so I was not licensible when I graduated. I have been a member of the psychology faculty at the University of Saint Mary for 19 years, a profession I dreamed of all of my life (after I realized I would never play for the Green Bay Packers). I teach a course in Psychology of Sport for our athletes - a dream come true every spring semester. I have multiple students interested in this field, one in particular who wants to study with you. My thanks and appreciation for your advice and wisdom. Sincerely, Nancy Dunavant King, Ph.D. Dr. Murray,

I am a senior at a small university which offers only one course about sports psychology. It is my dream to continue my education in sports psychology and by reading your article I am hoping someday soon that dream will turn into reality. Thank you for sharing. Good luck with all of your further endeavors. John,

Your overview is extremely helpful and wish I spoke to you prior to following this course. I've been in the IT/IS community for the past 20 years and enjoyed it. About two years ago started grad school and attained a MS in Sport Psychology earlier this year and am pursuing a PhD in psychology. Sport Psychology being such a small discipline, there are very few if any that will afford me a practicum opportunity in Virginia. In review of attaining a license in any of the states, that are all different, it is somewhat confusing! I have a boat load of questions...perhaps we can chat off line! Good Day John,

It was encouraging for me to see that there are possibilities out there to become a sports psychologist, with effort it can be done! I have been interested in sports psychology for a while now, after going through 4 shoulder surgeries between the end of high school and beginning of college, I was finally forced to give up sports. It is something I have struggled with since day one and something I still continue to struggle with every day. I want to be able to help others who have to go through similar situations and all of the other problems that can arise with being a competitive athlete. I am currently getting my bachelors in sports management and minor in sports psychology and have been trying to figure out the best way to go about continuing my education to obtain degrees in sports psychology so your article was very helpful for me to see how it can be done, especially in a time when it is hard to find information and success in this amazing field!
