Types of Positions Being Obtained by Doctoral Students Specializing in Sport and Exercise Psychology

What Should Graduate Students in Sport and Exercise Psychology Know About Their Possible Futures?

• Students should ensure that they have diverse training and skills for work other than consulting athletes.

• Career opportunities in traditional sport and exercise psychology fields for professionals with master degrees are limited.

• The number of individuals with doctoral degrees earning 50% or more of their income from consulting with athletes remains low.

• There is little evidence to suggest that the market for consulting will improve significantly in the near future.

• For graduates, sport and exercise psychology may appear to be solid in academic institutions, but there seems to be few opportunities in the field outside of academia.
