Abstract
This chapter aims at helping readers understand more about how to successfully engage an athlete in cognitive-behavioral therapy, build an alliance, and offer research-based behavioral interventions. I discuss basic tenets of the interventions, how to implement them, and the potential outcomes and pitfalls. Cognitive-behavioral interventions in sport abound, but I will focus on three necessary strategies that should be in every sport psychologist's toolbox—goal setting, evidenced-based self talk, and imagery. My perspective is that a sport psychologist's competence in cognitive-behavioral therapy can be a mitigating factor when engaging an athlete in the process of change and improvement.
