Many professional athletes and teams have realized the value of Kinesiology and regularly make use of the services. However, they tend to use the well established individual. When you start out, working with amateur and collegiate athletes is good experience.

In addition, writing is a great way to develop additional experience and to tell others about your accomplishments and areas of expertise. While sport psychology is recognized as a specific field of study within the Kinesiology and physical education departments, it is not one of the traditional fields of practice offered by psychology graduate programmes. For example, while one can obtain a graduate psychology degree with a concentration in children or substance abuse, the same can not be said of sport psychology. Although many psychology departments, offer single courses in sport psychology, the opportunities for graduate level degrees are few and far between. (jacket)
