Understanding How the Self-Regulation in Sport Practice Survey is Received by Mental Performance Consultants for Prospective Use in Applied Practice

Twelve Canadian Mental Performance Consultants completed mock Self-Regulation in Sport Practice (SRSP) surveys and interviews, and most reported they could use SRSP as an applied consulting resource.

• Why it matters: The study addresses whether MPCs would accept SRSP for prospective use with adolescent athletes, filling a gap between survey development and real-world consulting uptake.
• What they did: Twelve Canadian MPCs completed mock SRSP surveys and interviews, discussing perceived value for content, self-awareness, and information-gathering during case conceptualization.
• The result: Most MPCs anticipated using SRSP through joint discussion and triangulation, but they were philosophically divided, with some expressing uncertainty and negative preconceptions about quantitative assessment.
