Sports are by far one of the most common passions among college students and adults (Wrzesniewski, Rozin, & Bennett, 2003). For some, sports give pleasure, meaning, and a sense of purpose in life. Sports provide ample opportunities for psychologists to test and validate positive interventions. Long before Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (2000) called for psychologists to go beyond the disease model (Maddux, 2002), scholars and practitioners in the understanding the psychological factors critical to their peak performances (e.g., Gould, Eklund, & Jackson, 1992; Jackson & Roberts, 1992; Orlick, 1986, 1990; Ravizza, 1977). The purpose of this course is to explore possible intersections between the two fields and promote future collaborations to provide integrated training and professional development. Specifically, this course examines psychological theories and research related to sport and exercise behavior within the lens of positive psychology. Furthermore, we will be discussing topics stemmed from positive psychology as it relates to athletic excellence. Ultimately, our focus will be placed on bridging how to achieve peak performance (i.e., athletic excellence) and how to excel in life (i.e., human flourishing).
