Marketing Presentation

Assignment Overview

Throughout your career, you will need to clearly explain what sport psychology is, what services can be provided, and the benefits it provides to coaches, teams, and athletes. There are different types of practitioners that provide sport performance enhancement services, so it is easy for consumers to be confused about what sport psychology includes and how it works. Therefore, it will be important for you to be able to articulate your services and your approach to potential clients.

In this assignment, you will create a marketing presentation for a sports team called the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs team will be the case study used throughout the course. The purpose of this assignment is to explain sport psychology and your services (as either a performance enhancement consultant or a sport psychologist) to the coach and team.

Bulldogs Case Study: You have been contacted by a local coach who is interested in learning more about the services you provide. The Bulldogs team is diverse in its population. The coach has asked you to come and present a case for how sport psychology can help the team. The coach has heard about sport psychology but has never worked with a consultant before. The coach would like to know how it could specifically help the team perform at a higher level.
