Abstract Existing mental imagery (MI) guidelines emphasize the need to replicate critical aspects of physical practice for optimal performance outcomes. However, more research should explore applying contemporary skill acquisition approaches, such as Nonlinear Pedagogy (NLP), to MI for skill development. From a NLP perspective, skilled behavior is predicated on coupling perceptual information and actual movement. This presents a challenge for stimulus-absent modes of practice such as MI. Recent findings indicate that although MI is stimulus-absent, suggesting it is incompatible with a NLP approach, it may also be sensitive to stimuli, potentially allowing for coupling to the environment. This paper aims to provide an alternative ecological dynamics explanation of MI to support the application of NLP principles to MI. Specific examples of NLP applied to MI are also outlined and discussed for practitioners.

Abstract In this paper we are introducing an Integrated Model of Talent Development (IMTD). Predicated on a line of research that originally focused on elite youth soccer (cf. Mills et al., 2012; Mills et al., 2014a,b), the IMTD is a research-informed model that elucidates the interplay between environmental and psychological factors in the effective development of athletic potential. We introduce the core components of the model including environment strengths (e.g., involvement, opportunity, challenge) and development strengths (e.g., perseverance, self-determination, adaptability), and highlight how these interact in multiplicative ways to positively shape athletic potential along the developmental pathway. An example of how the model can be used in practice is included.

Abstract The Shared Zones of Optimal Functioning (SZOF) framework posits that different teams or sub-teams share unique psycho-bio-social states, momentum, and leadership patterns associated with optimal performance. In this paper, a theoretical summary of the SZOF framework is provided and the concept of Complementary Zones of Optimal Functioning (CZOF) is advanced. The notions of Shared Zones of Proximal Development and Complementary Zones of Proximal Development are also outlined. A seven-session intervention plan, based on the SZOF and the CZOF tenets, is described in detail to aid practitioners working with small teams and sub-teams in a variety of sports and performance domains.

Abstract We examined sport psychology services in Denmark (e.g., educational and professional backgrounds) using a survey to gather data from 78 sport psychology practitioners. Descriptive statistics were used to generate an overview. The findings highlight the importance of considering accreditation because there are serveral different practitioner backgrounds. Most had a background in sport science (n = 32) or psychology (n = 15), corresponding with ISSP and FEPSAC guidelines. Yet, the remaining respondents (n = 31) covered several backgrounds (e.g., business coaching, occupational therapy). Also, educational institutions should focus on readying practitioners to work with children and adolescents, since 70% of clients were younger than 21 years old.

Abstract This case study illustrates how building with Lego® bricks was used to help an athlete identify instances of growth mindset in his play such that this could help him overcome fix mindset thinking. The player, a member of a trophy winning hurling squad, was self-motivated and had developed a strategy of saying, “No” to avoid becoming injured due to ‘over playing’. He participated in a Lego® Serious Play® in Positive Psychology group workshop, the theme of which was the growth mindset. As a result, he was able to determine how he could work from fixed mindset triggers to more growth mindset beliefs. He was then able to transform his thinking from a stance where he felt he had to protect himself from the demands of others to realizing they can contribute to him as he developed as a player. He reported that building with Lego® bricks helped him “form new ideas in ways that you wouldn’t be able to do just through your mind”. This report demonstrates how a growth mindset workshop which incorporated Lego® Bricks can support player development after the experience adverse circumstances.

Abstract In recent years, applied sport psychologists have become more open to “third wave therapies” that focus on the holistic promotion of human well-being. In this article, the potential application of body psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), is presented within the sport context. SE™ focuses on resolving the symptoms of chronic stress and post-traumatic stress, among other things by directing the client’s attention to internal sensations, both visceral (interoception) and musculoskeletal (proprioception and kinesthesis) to resolve a dysfunctional state of the autonomic nervous system. The basic tenets of the SE™ framework are initially described with a short account of its effectiveness. Then, SE™ intervention context and ethical considerations are discussed, followed by a hypothetical example of its application with a judoka who experienced stress following an unexpected loss in a competition. Reflections and recommendations for practitioners are provided.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe the processes undertaken in the development of an evidence-base related to competition manipulation in sport for a national police agency. The research reported underpinned the creation of a film to deter the involvement of young athletes in serious organized crime. The environmental contexts, including the police environment and the sporting environment that the film was being developed for, are presented and reflected upon. Our approach is outlined, including a research phase employing focus groups and a development phase examining how to communicate the underpinning evidence. The paper concludes with reflections on the project novelty and applications for practitioners looking to apply their professional skills in a similar or related context (e.g., tactical profession populations, including military personnel, paramedics, and firefighters) based on our experiences in working with a national policy agency. The takeaway applications focus on gaining entry, planning interventions involving role models, and helping to promote optimal organizational functioning.

Abstract Psychological skills training (PST) programs involve the delivery of multiple mental skills. While this ‘packaged’ approach to mental skills training is effective, little is known regarding the proper sequence of such mental skills. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a sequence for the delivery of basic mental skills. The Sequence of Basic Mental Skills consists of four mental skills: (1) goal setting, (2) imagery, (3) self-talk, and (4) relaxation. The premise of this sequence is that each skill will assist in the learning and application of subsequent mental skills. To help practitioners utilize this sequence, a brief case study is included to illustrate the application of this sequence. The Sequence of Basic Mental Skills offers both theoretical and practical implications and addresses a notable gap in the sequencing of mental skills.
