ABSTRACT
The trainee Sport and Exercise Psychologist, now more than ever, is faced with the broadest range of communication, promotion and consulting formats ever seen in the profession. While this diversity of options can present significant opportunities, it can also present challenges in terms of what to engage with and what to avoid. In this chapter, we will explore core aspects of engaging online as a Sport and Exercise Psychologist. We explore social media use in the profession, clarifying what it is and how it can be deployed to enhance your sport and exercise psychology practice. We also explore website development to both enhance and support your engagement online, as well as the opportunities and challenges presented by online consulting. Finally, we consider the ethical and moral challenges associated with engaging online.
