About the International Relations Committee

of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology

Our Mission

The mission of AASP’s International Relations Committee (IRC) is to help promote the association outside of the United States among sport, exercise, and performance (SEP) trainees, professionals and scholars, as well as related SEP organizations. It is also charged with raising awareness of the work that AASP members and SEP individuals perform around the globe.

The IRC achieves its mission through:

Assisting AASP in developing partnerships with related sport psychology organizations around the world.
Representing AASP on the Sport Psychology Council (SPC).
Identifying potential sites/hosts/partners for the annual International Regional Conferences.
Raising the profile of international AASP members by promoting outstanding work and research via online communication platforms (newsletter, social media) and educational channels (webinars, annual conference).
Identifying an International Scholar Award recipient who serves as an invited International Lecture at the annual Conference every two years.

Collaborating with AASP leadership, committees, and special interest groups to develop campaigns designed to engage more international professionals and graduate student participation.
