Sports Psychology Programs

[rayray09]

Hi, I have a friend who is looking into grad school for sports psychology, but does not know of many places that offer that program.  I was wondering if anybody hear knows of any?  Thank you for any help!

Seriously?

I know of someone at the University of Georgia doing something along those lines.

Rather than look specifically for sports psychology programs (there aren't many, West Virginia, Denver, North Texas are a few), it would be better to look for professors whose research interests involve sports.

As a side note, look at the Exercise Science/Kinesiology departments. You will find faculty who study and research sport and exercise psychology here more often than in psychology departments. Doctorate holders in the sport psychology field tend to hold PhD's in Kinesiology with concentrations in sports psych. Off the top of my head I can think of Dr. Lochbaum at Texas Tech University and Dr. Podlog at the University of Utah.
