Abstract

The article focuses on the three common reasons why sport psychology consultants (SPCs) are not included on a sports medicine team. It says that the stigmas and negative connotations on psychologists can lead to a degree of apprehension on the view by athletes and coaches on SPCs. It states that the SPCs' lack of sport-specific knowledge can be a hindrance for the members of a sports medicine team. It also mentions the political and cultural problems in the sport and rehabilitation environment.
