Grow Up Together! Lessons and Perspectives From an International Intervision Group Experience That Begun During COVID-19 Restrictions

Intervision practice has been supported by various psychology organizations and practitioners. Such need is rarely reinforced by everyday sport psychology practice with relevant literature limited in applied journals. Having organized an international intervision group for more than five years now – the first of its type to the best of our knowledge – we are suggesting a mode of operation serving the cause of such monthly online intervision meetings. In the current paper, each member discusses their current practices, personal views and aspirations around the operations of this Internation Intervision Group (IIG). Based on a thematic analysis of these views, members provide clear suggestions on what works best (structure, topics, size, etc.) and how similar groups could be formed in the future. Collaboration, synergy, a noncompetitive ethos, genuine care, clear norms and freedom of speech are some of the cornerstones expressed by the group members. Opportunities for best practices and cross fertilization of ideas using the international nature and frequent discussions of this IIG under an enthusiastic organizing leadership were also discussed, recommended and commended throughout this position statement related to works of this group of professionals.
