Mentor - Mentee Agreement

Purpose

The purpose of this working relationship is to enhance the professional education and development of the mentee in the discipline of applied sport psychology.

Therefore, the mentor shall have no direct or indirect responsibility for the services performed, for the procedures and techniques employed by the mentee, and for the effects on clients.

The educational content of the mentorship shall include such topics as psychological research and theory related to applied sport psychology, assessment methods, intervention techniques, planning, executing, and evaluating interventions, development and marketing of a practice, the business of sport psychology, ethical issues, case reviews, and other relevant topics agreed upon by both parties.
