How will an elite athlete perform immediately following an acute unexpected stressor (an argument with a coach or parent, unexpected upfront intimidation from
a rival)? This presentation provides insight into the elite athletes physical manifestation of stress following an acute psychological stressor. Professionals can
use this to relay to their athletes the importance of managing an optimal environment immediately prior to a physical performance evaluation (i.e. a race), and
students in particular can benefit from the unique and particular methodology of this study so that they can be encouraged to explore the vast array of
techniques in their own study design.

Practicing What You Teach: Gameful Learning as a Self-Determined Approach to the Sport Lecture Friday, October 25 8:15 am - 9:30 am
Psychology Classroom Teaching
Author(s): Matthew Jones, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA; Lindsey Miossi, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA; Jedediah Blanton, University
of Tennessee, USA
A gamified learning approach promotes autonomy and incorporates competition, cooperation, immediate feedback, and reduces the fear of failure (Shipherd &
Burt, 2018) in the classroom. One of the foundational principles guiding gameful learning is the sense of autonomy given to the students, which can improve the
learning experience and ultimately enhance motivation through facilitating an increased self-determination (Deci & Ryan, 2002) in the course journey. This
presentation will discuss how to utilize a gameful approach in an undergraduate sport psychology course.AASP CONFERENCE PROGRAM

Abstract Title Type Date Time
Psychology of Sport Injury: Theory to Practice and Practice to Theory Symposium Friday, October 25 8:15 am - 9:30 am
Injury/Rehabilitation
Author(s): Ross Wadey, St Mary's University, UK; Renee Appaneal, Australian Institute of Sport, Australia; Monna Arvinen-Barrow, University of Wisconsin -
Milwaukee, USA; Leslie Podlog, University of Utah, USA
The aim of this symposium is to critically consider two perspectives: Can theory inform practice? Can practice inform theory? The first two presenters will
present the case that theories can inform practice by reflecting on research and applied practice, respectively. In contrast, the second two presenters will
consider how examining the ‘craft’ of applied practice can be used to challenge and/or refine theories and models to give them more practical value.
Can We Control the Mind? Using Mindfulness and Acceptance Approaches to Help Elite Workshop Friday, October 25 8:15 am - 9:30 am
Athletes Thrive and Perform Consulting & Interventions
Author(s): Kristoffer Henriksen, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark; Amy Baltzell, Boston University, USA; Peter Haberl, USOC, USA; Keith
Kaufman, Keith A. Kaufman, Ph.D., PLLC, USA; Sara Mitchell, United States Olympic Committee, USA; Tobias Lundgren, Department of Clinical
Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Sweden
Whereas much traditional sport psychology regards the mentally strong athlete as one who is never nervous and always confident, mindfulness and
acceptance approaches generally suggest that trying to control internal states is not only futile, but also part of the problem. The workshop presenters will
engage the audience in specific exercises targeting present moment focus, accept and values, which they have used successfully with professional, Olympic
and Paralympic athletes. In a safe learning environment, attendees will try specific exercises, and collaborate to adapt them to their specific cultural contexts.

will learn signature mental skill techniques targeted at helping leaders effectively perform critical leadership roles that influence group maintenance and
success. Special attention will be given to coach and athlete leadership roles, explaining how improving the mental performance of core team leaders can
improve the overall mental performance of the team.AASP CONFERENCE PROGRAM

Abstract Title Type Date Time
Theories of Performance Excellence: Rationale, Conceptualization, and Application Workshop Friday, October 25 8:15 am - 9:30 am
Professional Development, Supervision, and Mentoring
Author(s): Aspen Ankney, Special Operations Cognitive Enhancement for Performance, USA; Ian Ankney, Special Operations Cognitive Enhancement for
Performance, USA; John Evans, Human Engagement & Adaptive Thinking, USA; Dan Sproles, Special Operations Cognitive Enhancement for
Performance, USA; Nathan Toft, Special Operations Cognitive Enhancement for Performance, USA
Recently, Aoyagi, Cohen, Poczwardowski, Metzler, and Statler (2018) conveyed the lack of theoretical paradigms specific to performance enhancement and
ascribed a need for the field of applied sport and performance practitioners to operate from formally articulated and empirically assessed paradigms. This
workshop is intended to create a space for practitioners to participate in formal discussion, development and understanding of theories of performance
excellence. This workshop will help students and young professionals create a stable framework, through which they can understand and develop performance
enhancement programs and improve their ability to conceptualize a greater scope of performances, with more accurate precision.

Evidence-Based Practice in Applied Sport Psychology: A Training Model for Graduate Lecture Friday, October 25 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Programs and Mentors Professional Development, Supervision, and Mentoring
Author(s): Terilyn Shigeno, Adler University, USA; Teresa Fletcher, Adler University, USA
Given the need to systematize/standardize best practices in graduate training to align with changes in certification, and to prepare students to be eligible for
certification, the purpose of this presentation is twofold. First, we will introduce and describe a dynamic graduate training model using an evidence-based
approach that follows a theory-research-practice model (Winter & Collins, 2015). Secondly, we will introduce a comprehensive mentorship model that fills a gap
in the current literature while also describing how supervision/mentorship corresponds to best practices for graduate training.
