In this joint article, Alistair Higham examines the benefits and challenges for coaches of working with sport psychologists and introduces how he worked with Sport Psychologist Julie Blackwood in the lead up to the World University Games in South Korea last year, where GB won a Gold and a Silver medal. Julie then recounts her work in more detail to offer further insight into some of the ways in which coaches can work effectively with sport psychologists.
