The work-related satisfactions and stressors of experienced Olympic sport psychologists were examined. This study was designed to identify (a) specific intervention techniques used by the sport psychologist, (b) psychosocial concerns experienced by the sport psychologist, (c) concerns of the Olympic athlete, and (d) ethical issues related to communication with the media. Results revealed that these sport psychologists were satisfied both personally and professionally. In addition, the outcome category (winning/losing) reported as a primary concern by the athletes was addressed by the sport psychologists as an individual/personal issue, an interpersonal concern or a performance enhancement concern.
