online sport psychology conference

STAYING UPDATED WITH THE LATEST RESEARCH IS ESSENTIAL…

Obviously, to provide reliable and valid sport psychology services to athletes, teams, and coaches, it is essential to stay informed by reading research articles, continuing education, and attending professional conferences and congresses.

…YET FINDING THE TIME AND RESOURCES CAN BE CHALLENGING.

Especially finding time to research and read articles is always a challenge. Despite our best intentions to set aside time for this, other duties often take priority. Additionally, attending national or international conferences requires significant investments in registration fees, travel, accommodation, and food. The time spent traveling to these events also means time away from earning money or spending with our families.

We can learn without needing to travel anywhere!

Overall, you can learn from the research and experiences of other sport psychology professionals from wherever you are—whether at home, in your office, or even while traveling with athletes to international competitions. Eventually, online learning and online sport psychology conferences allow us to connect and grow together at our own pace.

I first came across VSP in 2020 during my master studies and participated in my first summit. What should I say? From that time on, I kept coming back delighted about all the high-quality input, resources and support VSP has to offer any sport psychologist (or the ones to be). Workshops, supervision sessions, summits, forums to exchange internationally... Christian and Dirk are really living their motto of getting better together and I hope they keep on working on their mission!

Christian and Dirk are so welcoming and do an amazing job at nurturing a safe and inclusive environment. The community also provides an opportunity to learn from each other, with monthly workshops held by members , and supervision sessions with Christian.

VASPS 2019 was the first international event that I attended in my life. The experience was sensational! The Summit had renowned professionals and was formatted in a model where we are not only listeners, but also invited to share our questions and learnings. In addition, what caught my attention was the availability of Christian Zepp before, during and after the event, being always present, concerned with our learning and constantly reinforcing our motivation. Delighted by the experience, I attended VASPS 2020 again, where new positive points were added to the event. Highlight for the factor of addressing issues related to discrimination in sport. I am a mild autistic person, and my goal as a Sports Psychologist is “to make high-income those who, many times, society deems to be low-income” and, since the beginning, I have been able to count on all the attention, respect and, mainly , incentive, by Christian Zepp. In summary, VASPS is a rich, dynamic event, where several subjects of high importance in the scope of Sport Psychology are treated, with the participation of several excellent professionals and, mainly, with an organizer who is always present, and concerned with our best experience.
