In April 1998, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology designated Bowling Green State University, specifically the Center for Archival Collections, to house their archives. The collection consists of six linear feet of minutes, conference programs and proceedings, officer correspondence, financial files, committee and subject files, and publications. The records date from the establishment of AASP in 1986 to 2002.
Founded in 1985 and incorporated in 1986, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) has emerged as the largest applied sport and exercise psychology organization in the world. Founding President, John M. Silva, established AASP to promote the science and practice of sport and exercise psychology, while providing an opportunity for individuals to share information related to theory development, research, and the provision of psychological services to consumers. Today, AASP is a vibrant international, multidisciplinary organization.
Since its inception, AASP has committed significant time and effort to identify essential criteria to the practice of applied sport psychology. In 1989, AASP established and approved criteria for certification intended to demonstrate that individuals seeking certification must have obtained a minimal level of training and experience to provide professional services in applied sport psychology. Currently, AASP is the only professional organization in North America that offers certification to qualified professionals who practice sport, exercise, and health psychology.
