Three pathways to supervision in applied sport psychology: Challenges and strategies to deliver effective supervision in graduate programs

ABSTRACT

Supervision is especially important for novice supervisees who tend to need more guidance and support. Literature about supervision in sport psychology includes a variety of method recommendations and examples of supervision cases that help a supervisor develop their supervision approach. Still, most of these cases do not discuss the daily challenges in using these approaches or strategies to overcome these challenges and deliver good-quality supervision in the context of graduate programs. The present article aims to describe three delivery methods of supervision, their contexts, challenges, strategies to overcome these challenges, and ethical considerations when using them.
