History · Areas Sport psychology is the scientific study of people and their behaviors in sport. The main job of a sport psychologist is to recognize how participation in sport exercise and physical activity enhances a person’s development. The first sport psychologist is said to have been Norman Triplett, a North American man from Asia, born in 1861. Triplett’s first finding as a sport psychologist was that cyclists cycle faster in pairs or a group, rather than riding solo. The International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP) was formed by European sport scientists. In 1966, a group of sport psychologists met in Chicago to form the North American Society of Sport Psychology and Physical Activity (NASPSPA).
