Abstract
A broad spectrum systems theory approach to the delivery of psychological services is presented. The target population includes the athletes, coaches, administrators, ski company representatives, and family members. The delivery of service involves individual dyadic and group sessions. The methods of service include educational, clinical, organizational, and a research data base. The major goal is to instill individual self-monitoring and self-control of personal well-being and achievement. Utilizing several theoretical frameworks such as behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, group dynamics, and insight oriented has worked best. Success of the program is multifactored: (a) being willing to commit a major amount of time to a single sport; (b) providing a broad range of services, from mental skills training, crises intervention, injury prevention and rehabilitation to team building, communication, and referral of individual to practitioners; (c) attending to organizational issues and program evaluation; and (d) common sense, practicability, and a willingness to be flexible with programs.
