We provide almost all services ourselves, requiring minimal coordination from our clients. The IMTP primarily consists of a combination of group sessions and individual sessions.

For the group component, we encourage relevant stakeholders, such as athletes and coaches, to attend the sessions so they can better understand the program and its objectives.

For the individual component, our providers will coordinate directly with participants to arrange sessions and will provide progress updates and reports to the designated coordinators.

As mentioned above, the IMTP consists of four stages: Assessment, Intervention, Evaluation, and Retention. The first three stages are typically completed within 3–4 months. We offer 6 months of services, considering the coordination work and buffer.

Some clients may wish to undertake the IMTP again after one year. If the participants remain the same, we recommend implementing the Retention stage only because we already have some foundation before, as it is a more streamlined approach while still maintaining effectiveness. This allows participants to reinforce and sustain the skills and outcomes developed during the initial program.

Yes, we provide both summary reports and individual reports to our clients.

For example, if a client has 15 athletes participating in the intervention, we will prepare 15 individual reports, one for each athlete, as well as one overall summary report. These reports explain the relevant assessment data, intervention outcomes, and progress records related to the client and the participants.

The summary report provides an overview of the program’s findings and outcomes, while the individual reports offer detailed insights into each participant’s development and progress.

We offer a flexible service delivery model. For the IMTP, particularly the group-based components, we recommend conducting sessions in person to maximize engagement and effectiveness.

For individual sessions, services can be delivered either in person or online, depending on the needs and preferences of the participants.

To achieve the best outcomes, especially when clients request additional services related to the program, such as workshops, presentations, internship supervision, or wellbeing initiatives, we recommend providing 3–4 weeks of in-person support, with the remaining services delivered online. This hybrid approach balances effectiveness, flexibility, and cost-efficiency while maintaining a high standard of service.

We typically assign between one and three professionals to deliver the IMTP, depending on the scope and requirements of the project. The team may include:

• One Lead Sport Psychologist
• Up to one Sport Psychology Practitioner
• Up to two Sport Science Researchers
• Up to three paid interns specializing in Translation, Research, or Counseling

For the paid internship positions, we prioritize recruitment opportunities for students from our client organizations (e.g., universities and colleges). We also provide supervision, training, and professional development support to ensure a valuable learning experience for the interns while maintaining the quality of service delivery.

Yes. However, the research plan should be finalized and ethical approval obtained before the program begins.

There are many potential research areas that could be explored. For example, studies could examine the dark side of mental toughness, differences in outcomes between elite and non-elite athletes, or the integration of psychophysiological measures to better understand performance and wellbeing.

We would be honored to support the research process, including study design, data collection, analysis, and dissemination of findings. We would also welcome the opportunity to collaborate on publications and research outputs upon completion of the program.
