Abstract
Informed by student needs and organizational goals, a dedicated group of students and faculty mentors founded a new peer-reviewed, student-centered journal supported by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) and the AASP Foundation. The following paper outlines key factors that contributed to the actualization of this journal including an overview of the supporting organization, historical context relevant to the journal, and includes a brief overview of the student leadership positions at the center of the development of the journal. Additionally, we outline the three-year process of taking this journal from an idea, to a proposal, to full operation—as evidenced by this first issue. Our hope is that through a transparent reflection of our process, other students may be empowered by our learned experiences and gain confidence to advocate for lofty goals within their own organizations.
