Summary:The purpose of the article is to provide an overview of an applied sport psychology intervention designed for high school student-athletes. To illustrate the process, as well as the product, each year of the two-year project is presented separately. Problems encountered with this type of intervention, such as working in the high school environment, as well as the lessons learned, are discussed so that others interested in working with high school student-athletes can benefit. Finally, the authors provide suggestions for future directions related to sport psychology in the high school setting.
