ABSTRACT

The objective of this chapter is to provide sport psychology professionals with information and ideas on how to facilitate and optimize sport performance and satisfaction of middle-to older-aged athletes. Information pertaining to the topic is derived from my past and current research work with over 600 athletes aged from 35 to 90+ years in a variety of masters sports including track and field, bowling, golf, marathon, and swimming; my sport psychology consulting experience; and from other existing research conducted with masters athletes.
