Applied performance psychology practitioners employ an evidence-based understanding of the psychology of human performance to conceptualize and enhance the expression or improvement of performance, holistic well-being, and social functioning.

Examples include techniques for establishing and maintaining rapport, techniques for promoting client/performer’s self-awareness, techniques for establishing trust, navigating organizational culture, and setting boundaries.

Domain II – Assessment

Examples include techniques for observing performance, determining important factors in the psychological performance environment, soliciting intake data, and identifying individual and organizational strengths and weaknesses (e.g., group and individual).

Domain III – Goals, Outcomes, and Planning

Examples include techniques for collecting and evaluating assessment data (e.g., individual and/or group), collaboration with the client/performer(s) and support staff (e.g., coaches and colleagues) to prioritize goals, integration of consulting philosophy/theoretical frameworks, and performance planning.

Domain IV – Implementation

Examples include techniques for group and individual session delivery (e.g., classroom vs. sports environment), documentation of information, and collecting feedback from the client/performer.
