Welcome to Athletic Insight - The Online Journal of Sport Psychology. Over the past several years, both coaches and athletes have started to realize that strength, speed and other athletic skills are not sufficient for the production of championship athletes. Athletic performance has three parts: physical preparation, technical skill, and psychological readiness. This model suggests that if any of the above areas are neglected, athletic performance will decline. However, psychological preparation is the component that is most often neglected by athletes and coaches alike.
Presently, the field of sport psychology and performance enhancement is growing exponentially. However, the sources of information related to the field are extremely limited. The purpose of this site is to provide a forum for discussion of topics that are relevant to the field of sport psychology through quarterly publications. The subjects that will be covered include theory, research and practice of sport psychology as well as social issues related to the field of athletics. It is our hope that this journal will serve as a valuable resource for anyone that is interested in the field.
