The guests of the RU Sport Psych Podcast at this time are professors Daniel Gould and Robert Weinberg. Weinberg and Gould are well-known for their work in sports psychology, and it is probably no exaggeration to say that they are among the most respected sports psychologists of all time. Both have been named to the top 10 list of the most influential sports psychologists in the United States. They have published countless academic articles in sports psychology and written numerous books. Weinberg and Gould are best known for being the authors of the Foundation of Sport and Exercise Psychology textbook, the most widely used textbook in sports psychology. Both have extensive experience working with athletes, coaches, and sports associations. The episode covers their careers in detail, and they share their experiences. Among other things, there is a discussion about what psychological skills those who want to go far in sports need to acquire, what psychological skills referees need to have, what is essential when working with athletes, and how sports psychology can help in business and life. Peter O'Donoghue, a professor at the Department of Sports Science, is discussing Weinberg and Gould.
