“…This self-management ability is crucial across a range of occupations, not only to ensure that a competent and effective service is provided to clients, but also to help individuals experience a sustainable professional career and desirable personal health (see e.g. De Vos, Dewettinick, & Buyens, 2009;Gould, Kelly, Goldstone, & Maidwell, 2001). …”

As part of an increased effort to understand the most effective ways to psychologically prepare athletes and teams for Olympic competition, a number of sport psychology consultants have offered best-practice insights into working in this context. These individual reports have typically comprised anecdotal reflections of working with particular sports or countries; therefore, a more holistic approach is needed so that developing practitioners can have access to -and utilise -a comprehensive evidence-base. The purpose of this paper is to provide a panel-type article, which offers lessons and advice for the next generation of aspiring practitioners on preparing athletes and teams for the Olympic Games from some of the world's most recognised and experienced sport psychologists. The sample comprised 15 sport psychology practitioners who, collectively, have accumulated over 200 years of firsthand experience preparing athletes and/or teams from a range of nations for six summer and five winter Olympic Games. Interviews with the participants revealed 28 main themes and 5 categories: Olympic stressors, success and failure lessons, top tips for neophyte practitioners, differences within one's own consulting work, and multidisciplinary consulting. It is hoped that the findings of this study can help the next generation of sport psychologists better face the realities of Olympic consultancy and plan their own professional development so that, ultimately, their aspirations to be the world's best can become a reality. Winning an Olympic gold medal is typically recognised as the ultimate accolade of a successful athletic career and arguably the most demanding challenge an athlete can pursue (Fletcher & Sarkar, 2012;Gould, Dieffenbach, & Moffett, 2002). This is, in part, due to the unique occurrence of the Olympics which takes place only once every four years. It is this infrequency of the event, combined with its magnitude and the globalisation of the sport industry, that ensures worldwide interest in and fascination with athletes' performances. This intense scrutiny, however, brings with it enormous pressure and only those who can manage the stress that accompanies sport at this level will be successful. It is no surprise, then, that there has been an increased effort to understand the most effective ways to psychologically prepare athletes and teams for Olympic competition (see e.g. Gould & Maynard, 2009).Over the past three decades, there has been a growth in the number of sport psychologists helping athletes and teams prepare for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Furthermore, research on the individual consultants has provided insight into different philosophies when working with Olympic athletes and teams, including an educational mental skills approach (Halliwell, 1989), a broad spectrum systems theory approach (May & Brown, 1989), and a preventative medicine model approach (Murphy & Ferrante, 1989).Although the sport psychology literature has greatly increased our best-practice knowledge of the most effective w...

“…Drawing on social exchange theory (Blau, 1964;Gouldner, 1960;Homans, 1958), previous research has reported that perceived organizational career management can promote employees' work-related attitudes by increasing their positive evaluations and expectancies of career development (De Vos et. al., 2009;Sturges, Conway, Guest & Liefooghe, 2005;Sturges, Guest, Conway, & Mackenzie Davey, 2002).…”

“…Estudos na área de gestão da carreira também mostram que as organizações estão investindo menos no desenvolvimento de seus empregados e, em certa medida, propondo que estes assumam as rédeas de seu desenvolvimento por meio de iniciativas de autogestão da carreira (King, 2004;Sullivan & Baruch, 2009). Estudos nesse campo, porém, sugerem que as organizações deveriam dar mais apoio ao desenvolvimento de seus empregados, na medida em que esse apoio estimula iniciativas por parte do próprio empregado, criando um círculo virtuoso que favoreceria ambos (Clarke, 2013;De Vos, Dewettinck, & Buyens, 2009;Sturges, Guest, Conway, & Davey, 2002).…”

“…Observamos que, em congruência com a literatura, as experiências on-the-job e as vivências anteriores, Também verificamos que o suporte organizacional foi apontado como relevante por apenas três NGs, indicando que a maior parte das organizações colocam jovens gestores em situações desafiadoras, sem oferecer apoio formal. No entanto, evidências aqui encontradas e presentes na literatura sugerem que uma atuação conjunta pode ser de grande valia -o indivíduo buscando seu próprio desenvolvimento e apoio de sua rede de relacionamentos, e a organização dando oportunidades e suporte quando necessário (Baruch, 2006;De Vos et al, 2009;Sturges et al, 2002).…”
