This is a sequential course in which each section must be passed before
moving to the next section over a minimum of 4 quarters. Students in
this course are required to attend virtual weekly class meetings at a
designated time with the mentorship group. Each week students will
complete readings and assignments which will be reviewed with classmates
during virtual classroom and live video conference group and individual
supervision sessions. Additionally, students will share sport
experiences and discuss case formulations with the small group to share
diverse sport experiences. The UWS sport and performance psychology
program (SPP) must pre-approve mentors for SPP mentorship experiences to
count towards degree completion. For students working toward CMPC
requirements, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) must
also approve mentors. Approval by the SPP program must be received prior
to registration for the course or approval of mentorship experiences.
Only hours spent in the delivery of sport psychology services during the
approved course section are eligible towards course completion.
Therefore, students are encouraged to set up AASP mentors and
experiences early but should not start working with clients before
completing the core SPP coursework and receiving approvals for each
course section. For additional details, refer to the AASP CMPC Handbook
and SPP Mentorship Handbook. After graduation, students can choose to
complete the AASP Professional Mentorship Verification Form and AASP
Record of Mentorship Hours Form. This application process is outside of
UWS with AASP and is separate from completion of the course and SPP
program.
