Each module has an associated assignment which is designed to allow students to demonstrate their underpinning knowledge and show how this can be applied in various contexts.
Course Key Topics
the Sports Psychology (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: In the beginning
In this module we will look at the definition and description of sports psychology, together with examining the various components or specialities within the overall context.There will be a brief historical overview and exploration of the scientific or theoretical, versus implementation or practical applications. So the discussions will centre on how sports psychology came into being and its evolvement over recent years; it has become a mainstay of both amateur and professional sporting performance and skills enhancement, and is used from the very basic to professional levels.Within this module we will also look at performance preferences, and understand what is current in terms of trends and practice; so the questions we will be addressing are: how do individuals like to play their sport; what are the specific learning aids which help best; differentiation within sporting practices and how are these being used within both the amateur and professional fields at present?
Module 2: Participation and learning
In this module we will be looking at personality and identity, and what makes us competitive; there are many theories of identity used in multiple fields such as psychology, healthcare, business and philosophy. Identity is linked with the way in which individuals take part in every aspect of life, therefore this relates very well to sporting activities.
Personality types have been explored for many years within the fields of both psychiatry and psychology, so there is a great deal of data and evidence to support emergent theories and concepts; these are relevant to how we learn and make sense of our world, and in turn how we perceive roles and our place in that world. These processes underpin approaches to information assimilation and understanding, thereby impacting the psychological ‘self’ which has a direct impact on any thought we have or activity we undertake.There will also be exploration of motivational influences and professional practice in this area as external factors can exert influences on direct and indirect actions.
We will look at strategies for success and identifying your own role in both understanding personality and thereby your own psyche. By examination of one’s own personality, you will be better placed to identify key markers in other individuals and this will be an invaluable skill to develop whether you are in the role of a sports trainer, psychologist, coach, or just using the skills for personal performance enhancement and skills training.
Module 3: Stress and anxiety
So these are things that will be detailed within this module in reference to anatomy, physiology and how these impact the psychological response.
From there we move onto looking at how to reduce stress, particularly prior to performance; and in addition the strategies that will help if stress occurs during performance; these are known as coping strategies.
Module 4: The sports environment
We look at what happens during competition and examine feedback, reinforcement and the principles of rewarding behaviours, both extrinsic and intrinsic. Examples we will be looking at within this module are what are the expectations of training? How does performance from one session impact behaviour in the next? How do athletes feedback to their coaches and themselves to make use of positive and negative experiences? What are the benefits of using rewards to maintain desired behaviour? How do we behave to one another within a competitive environment?
And finally, how do we define extrinsic and intrinsic behaviours, together with explaining their relevant position and usefulness within the sports environment?
This is an integrative module and will link into the previous and subsequent modules.
Module 5: Group dynamics
Groups and teams are very complex entities, requiring special skills and interactions. We will look at group behaviour in depth and study some of the most influential theories. Working as part of a team requires individuals to set aside their own personal desires and take on those of the whole group; within this there is room for a subsection of ‘personal goals’ but they are not considered as important as the overall team objectives – how do we cope with this?
Interacting with several people is difficult at the best of times but within a competitive environment it has sensitive issues and complexities which can affect personal performance; here we look at these in detail.
This module will specifically examine cohesion and leadership. In any team or group there has to be a leader, or ‘leaders’. This can pose problems of poor relationship building, lack of respect, hierarchical issues, and some basic clashes or resentments. In this module these elements will be discussed and some strategies presented which can be used to overcome these potentially difficult situations.
In addition communication will be thoroughly explored and we will look at some of the barriers to positive communications which may in turn affect performance. Communication skills are vital in group situations, especially when you are working towards shared objectives; these skills may have to be enhanced and some training aids will be presented. Barriers to communication will prevent effective group cohesion and so we will look at some of the common barriers and see how they can be overcome by the employment of strategies and learning aids.
Module 6: Performance dynamics
In this module we look at improving performance through skills training, arousal regulation and imagery. There will also be discussion about self-confidence and how to address issues within this context, especially building self-confidence in order to improve training etc. Many performers, whether within sport or another discipline, may have outstanding achievements when training or practicing on their own but these elude them during competitive or public performance and so here we will look at how to cope with fear, nerves and poor confidence levels, turning these negative processes into positive strategies instead.
We will explore the concepts of goal setting and bring into these issues of cognitive behaviour – in other words how we can change behaviour in order to promote performance enhancement.
Module 7 & 8: Health and wellbeing part 1 and 2
This module will also look at the concepts within wellbeing and how the perceptions of individuals affect physical performance, and it will also look briefly at the concept of homeostasis in relations to systemic equilibrium and how maintenance of optimum equilibrium influences health and physical performance.
Within the module we will also address athletic injuries and the role of sports psychology in injury rehabilitation. There will be discussion about burnout and excessive training, looking specifically at definitions, measurement and prevention of these incidents.
Module 9: Children and sports psychology
Children require special considerations in sports training and performance. They are still growing physically and developing mentally, being particularly susceptible to role model influence and adult coercion. The module will look briefly at the key stages of child development. Also in this module we look at all these areas in relation to psychology, and how to apply professional knowledge to practice when working with children in the sporting context.
There will also be some direct discussion regarding working with children, appropriate approaches and how best to utilize specific training and learning techniques in a positive and effective way.
Module 10: Psychology, growth and development
This module looks at issues of aggression and anger in sport, how this can affect performance and how to channel this into something positive. In addition we will explore the negative side of aggressive behaviour in relation to sporting performance and how this can be detrimental to both the individual and group.
It also looks at character building and how to ‘behave’ within the performance environment. It is said that you grow with your sport, so here we want to examine this concept and look at some research which underpins the supporting theories.

Career Profile - Sport And Exercise Psychologist
Career Profile
Sport and exercise psychologists use their psychological skills, knowledge and expertise to support the behaviours, mental processes and wellbeing of individuals, teams and organisations involved in sport and exercise
If you choose to specialise in sport psychology, you’ll help athletes and teams involved in sport, from amateur to elite professional level, deal psychologically with the demands of the sport. You’ll also help them improve their personal development and performance in order to reach their full potential.
As an exercise psychologist, you’ll work with the general public to increase motivation and participation in exercise, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and advising on the psychosocial benefits that exercise can offer.
Responsibilities
As a Sport And Exercise Psychologist, you’ll need to:
* assess your clients’ needs and abilities, and monitor sporting performance and behaviour
* implement strategies to help clients overcome difficulties, improve performance or realise potential
* work with a multidisciplinary team including other psychologists, nutritionists, GPs, coaches and physiologists
* deliver counselling and/or workshops covering issues such as goal setting, visualisation and relaxation
* conduct and apply research in sport or exercise psychology.
If you work in sport psychology, you’ll need to:
* work with a range of clients including individual athletes, teams, coaches and referees, from amateur to elite professional level, across a range of sporting disciplines
* develop tailored interventions to assist athletes in preparation for competition and to deal with the psychological demands of the sport
* provide athletes with strategies to help them handle issues such as nerves, self-confidence and motivation
* set up activities to help improve both individual and team performances
equip athletes with mental strategies to cope with and overcome setbacks or injuries
* advise coaches how to improve squad cohesion or communication
* deliver group workshops on areas such as self-analysis of performance or techniques to develop mental skills within the sport.
If you work in exercise psychology, you’ll need to:
* counsel clients who are ill or in poor physical or mental health, and who may benefit from participation in more regular exercise
* advise individuals about the benefits, both physical and psychological, that can be derived from exercise
* work with individuals and groups in a variety of settings including GP surgeries, employers’ premises, the client’s home, clinical settings and local fitness centres
* devise, implement and evaluate exercise programmes based on the needs of the client
* provide counselling and consultations to a cross-section of the public including people who are depressed, GP referrals, people in prison or groups of employees as part of a workplace-exercise programme.
Salary
* Starting salaries typically range from around £20,000 to £23,000.
* With experience, you can earn in the region of £27,000 to £38,000.
* Senior sport and exercise psychologists can earn in excess of £48,000.
For up-to-date salary scales for further education (FE) and higher education (HE) positions, see the University and College Union (UCU).
Experienced consultants working with top professional athletes can expect to charge up to £1,000 a day in consultancy fees.
Salaries vary depending on where you work, the size of company or organisation you work for and the demands of the role. For example, salaries for sport and exercise psychologists working for elite sports teams, professional clubs or national governing bodies tend to be higher than those of amateur ones.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Working hours for practitioners vary depending on the client and the nature of the sport or exercise psychology role. Although you would generally work office hours, evening or weekend work may also be required to fit in with training and sports competitions.
Hours within education or healthcare settings are mainly 9am to 5pm.
What to expect
* Work environments vary depending on the client and could include an office base within a university campus, GP surgery or hospital, or field settings such as the athletes’ village at major sports events, the team training base or employers’ premises.
* Jobs are available with sports teams and organisations, as well as universities and colleges, throughout the UK and abroad. Sport psychology is well established in the USA.
* Travel within a working day is common, particularly if working with sports professionals. You may form part of a support team travelling with a team or athlete to competitions and tournaments locally, nationally and internationally.
Skills
You’ll need to show evidence of the following:
* an interest in sport
* excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* active listening and reflection skills

Career prospects
Opportunities for advancement exist both within professional practice and through research within an academic environment.
Within the field of sport psychology, you may decide to become a consultant and build up your own client base and business. You will typically combine consultancy work with teaching and research or with other work in areas such as clinical and occupational psychology.
Alternatively, you could progress into a senior position within a professional club, with individual athletes or a governing body. Elite athletes work for many years to reach such a level and expect the same level of expertise from their support staff. For this reason, it’s usually necessary for a sport psychologist to have several years’ experience before being able to work with top professional athletes.
Within the field of exercise psychology, there may be opportunities for advancement to a consultancy role or involvement in GP referral schemes. There is an increasing role for professional staff within the area of health promotion. The role of health psychologist within the NHS may also present opportunities for qualified exercise psychologists.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
