It has been suggested by Nideffer et al. (0000) that one of the principal functions of sport psychology is to construct training programmes which develop self-regulation skills in performers via the use of such techniques as goal-setting, biofeedback, meditation, attention control training, mental rehearsal, relaxation and hypnosis. A recent development is that such self-regulation training has taken two distinct courses: the construction of MTPs, and the 'one-to-one' teaching of self-regulation skills by clinicians and sport psychologists. To date the clinical approach has been mostly reserved for elite or professional periormers, and often tends to be interventional, rather than educational, in nature.
