| Applied sport psychologists tend to begin their consulting relationships
with national teams having formalized skills, and often, limited contextual
and sport- specific understanding. The present report overviews the
first four years of a long-term consulting relationship one practitioner
developed with the Canadian National Boxing Team. From the vantage
of an applied sport psychology consultant, I overview how a limited
consulting role expanded into increased responsibilities and opportunities.
Suggestions are provided for the aspiring sport psychology consultant
interested in working with athletes and coaches within the combative
sport of elite amateur boxing.
KEY
WORDS: Boxing, national team, consulting.
