The Role of Coaching in Sports Psychology

I’m delighted to welcome back licensed clinical psychologist and sport psychologist, Dr Scott Goldman in this episode.

Scott started out at the University of Arizona where was one of the first embedded sport psychologists in an athletic department. He has since served as a clinical and performance psychologist for the University of Michigan and Saint Louis’ Athletic Departments. Scott also helped co-author the best practices for the NCAA and was part of their first mental health task force.  

Scott has worked as sport psychologist for the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions NFL teams and NBA teams Washington Wizards, and currently the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Vikings.  

Scott has also developed a test called the AIQ which measures sport-specific intelligence that is used across all 5 major leagues in the US as well as in other countries around the world.

Scott shares his considerable knowledge with us on the topic of leadership and we take a deep dive into the different leadership styles.
