Abstract

In this invited commentary, I reflect on the development of my approach to practice and the career-based transitions and opportunities that have shaped me as a professional over the last 30 years. I illustrate how I started and continue as a scientist–practitioner in the ways and means that I attempt to make a purposeful contribution to the profession of sport psychology. Drawing on historical changes and momentum shifts in the availability of professional knowledge, I reflect upon how “doing sport psychology” has evolved greatly over the last 3 decades. Sharing the journey of how my applied research has been a consistent and reciprocal influence on my practice, I try to make sense of how my experiences and environments have changed me for the better while recognizing that my core values, approach, and purpose remain largely intact.
