One of the main skills a sports psychologist must have is to know how to collaborate with coaches.
As we know, every sports organization follows its own rules and develops its own sports culture. This in turn determines the behavior and relationships that coaches experience with their staff. As a result, a psychologist who is likely to work in different environments must be able to forge partnerships based on the demands and culture of that specific environment.
Coaches coach but each one follows their own approach, has developed a way of relating to co-workers and athletes. The sooner the psychologist understands this, the better his collaboration with the coach and his staff will be.
