About this Unit
This unit has been replaced by 101197 - Consulting in Applied Psychology. This unit covers the application of sport psychology strategies for performance enhancement in a variety of situations. It includes acquiring theoretical knowledge and the practice of mental skills, as well as the design, implementation, and evaluation of a performance enhancement program. Although the focus of sport psychology has been on the elite performer, emphasis will be placed on the use of sport psychology principles and practice to the quality of life of sport and exercise participants in the community, and to other performance-related activities.
