I have just graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a B.A. in Psychology. I want to persue sports psychology now. I have been teaching figure skating for five years, and would like to further my education in this field. Where is the best place is for me to start searching to see what schools offer graduate programs in sports psychology? Thank you, Chea

There is an excellent resource available to students from Fitness Information Technology Publishers in Morgantown, WV, called "Directory of Programs in Applied Sport Psychology" by Michael Sachs et al. You can see more information about this directory at the FIT website (www.fitinfotech.com), or to order, call FIT at 1-800-477-4348. Also, if you haven't already seen it, check out our brochure entitled, "Career Tracks in sport and exercise psychology" that you can get either directly from APA Division Services or download/print out from this Div47 website (publications).

Good Luck!
