ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to offer the reader a brief overview of the current situation of Sport Psychology (SP) applied practice in Spain, as well as to discuss the foundations of fair play and values education through sport. The philosophy of SP practice in Spain is consistent with FEPSAC’s (European Federation of Sport Psychology, 1996) definition of sport, and is thus inclusive of sport as well as physical activity. Presently, SP is an emergent area in Spain, and the following aspects must be improved to consolidate the field: a better professional definition of the area; legal recognition and regularization; standardized presence in work centers related to sport and exercise (e.g., sport teams, government sport federations, fitness centers); and a worldwide presence that would allow the general public to learn about the profession and what can be expected when working with an SP practitioner.
