MASH 686 - Advanced Sport Psychology Externship & Seminar

2
This advanced seminar provides students with an opportunity to discuss their professional development and the mentorship experience while engaged in externship training. Students discuss specific cases from their externship sites to illustrate the general principles of sport psychology, performance enhancement, and intervention. The focus is on the development of knowledge, skills, and values needed to provide competent and ethical sport psychology services. This advanced sport psychology externship will involve training experiences directly related to sport and health psychology and is designed for graduates who wish to receive post-master’s AASP hours. Students will work directly with a sport and health population as they apply the theories and concepts learned throughout the master’s program and previous practicum and internship experiences. Students will learn about the process of mentoring others and assess their own readiness to be an AASP mentor. This externship will consist of a minimum of 300 hours; 75 must be direct client contact, and 30 must be supervised by an AASP-certified consultant (CC-AASP). Graduates of Adler’s Sport and Health Psychology specialization are eligible to take this course.
