Sports Psychology Program the Clear Winner on Online-Education.net
(PRWeb) January 8, 2007 -- For the Americans who can't disassociate "Happy New Year" and the start of the college Bowl Championship Series, Online-Education.net recommends that education-minded sports enthusiasts consider a course in sports psychology. Online interest in this industry is strong, with online marketing firm Overture logging over 26,000 searches for information about sports psychology careers in November. Professional-level interest is also garnering support through a growing number of recognized professional associations.
Although graduate-level sports psychology education is highly specialized and not available at every brick-and-mortar institution, sports lovers wanting to learn more about the field before committing to a doctoral education can find convenient sport psychology courses online at Online Education.net (http://www.online-education.net/courses/sport-psychology-courses.html). Knowing more about goal setting and concentration techniques, handling pressure, and avoiding burnout can benefit:
*
Athletes
*
Recreation directors
*
Coaches
*
Athletic trainers
*
Parents
*
Exercise and fitness instructors
Career coaching sites, such as Online-Education.net (http://www.Online-Education.net), can help those who prefer a fifty-yard-line to a desk by directing them to courses in sports psychology and a more satisfying vocation. According to Online-Education.net spokesperson Christyn Randolph, those who choose careers that interest them enjoy their jobs and are more likely to be successful. "People who are passionate about what they do work harder and with more energy."
In an online discussion with WashingtonPost.com, legendary sports psychologist Jim Loeher, Ph.D., discusses how sports psychology applies to everyday life, "We need to be thinking of ourselves as elite athletes, not for sport, but for life. All of the lessons about the importance of diet, exercise, mental preparation, positive thinking, sleep, recovery, goal setting and passion apply to everyday life."
For certified sports psychologists, the American Association of Applied Sports Psychology requires a doctoral degree, preferably in psychology or exercise/sports sciences, continuing education in biomechanics and psychology, and the completion of 400 hours of supervised experience in sports psychology.
The Association for the Advancement of Applied Sports Psychology had 1,200 members in 2006, and there are several other professional organizations and professional journals dedicated to sport psychology, including The Sport Psychologist. The American Psychological Association also has a specific division -- Division 47 -- for professionals of Exercise and Sport Psychology.
Online-Education.net is a one-stop source for students and prospective students. In addition to interactive career coaching, the site offers information on courses, online degree programs, and computer training.

Online sports card auctions are too expensive is what Greg Hansen has believed for years. If I could build a site that didnt have the listing fees, the true collectors could re-enter the market. It would also a good alternative for dealers to not only sell items that they couldn't sell locally, but they could buy cards that were popular in their region for re-sale. Hansens solution was to launch a new online auction site dedicated solely to sports cards. In April 2005 he launched www.sportcardauctions.com.
