ABSTRACT
The purpose of this chapter is to review steps that should be taken before you begin to engage in the process of developing a sport psychology program. The ensuing chapters of the book will cover the process in detail. The preliminary steps covered in this current chapter will help you set the stage for applying the program development process. I have found that engaging in these steps increases the likelihood of establishing and maintaining a professional and productive relationship with your client, as well as with other individuals who will be involved in the sport program development process.
