There are three primary career fields for sports psychologists. Which field you'd like to concentrate in will determine the focus of your studies and the scope of your internship/work experience. The three fields are:  academic jobs - teaching sports psychology coursework and conducting research at a university applied psychology jobs - training athletes and working with entire sports teams to enhance team performance, motivation, and endurance  clinical psychology jobs - working one-on-one with athletes and coaches to teach coping skills, work through stress and performance anxiety, and address any underlying psychological issues Some degree programs require an internship as a mandatory part of your education, and for good reason. Internships are an excellent way to gain experience in your field, add credentials to your resume, and make network connections that could last a lifetime.  Try getting involved in sports, or at least following a team and learning the basics of the game. You'll ideally be working with athletes, so it's best to understand what athletes go through on a daily basis.  Your college/graduate/doctoral program may offer specialized internships through some type of partnership. You can find internships by reaching out to a practice you'd like to work with, or by searching the APA website for internships in your area. Professional organizations are not a requirement for work in sports psychology, but they can help you build professional contacts and may open new career doors to you down the line. Some of the most common professional associations for sports psychologists include:  Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) American Psychological Association (APA), Division 47 International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP) North American Society for Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA)

summary: Choose an area of concentration. Take an internship. Join a professional association.

For young seedlings, shavings are best. Use a long-grain grater to shave the soap into small shavings. Hold the grater at a 45-degree angle to a flat surface and drag the soap across it. Afterward, sprinkle the pieces evenly in a circle about 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m) from the soil that harbors your seedlings. Press the soap firmly but carefully down the grater and take care not to cut your hands. Cut each bar of soap into pieces about 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) around. Insert a skewer into the tip and place each one just above budding plants. Replace the skewers about once a month or anytime they are destroyed by rain. These skewers are also great for dehydrating bugs and aphids in the nearby soil. Don't use more than 1 soap skewer per plant. Use a paring knife to cut your bars of soap in half. Afterward, wrap them in cheesecloth or burlap and use a stapler to fasten them to stakes in your garden. Be sure to space each piece of soap evenly across your perimeter.  If you're using 33 bars of a soap for a 100 metre (330 ft) long perimeter, space each bar out by about 3 metres (9.8 ft).  Hang each bar of soap at least 7.8 inches (20 cm) from the central stems of the plants. Don't hang your soap bars directly on shrubs, as they will attract rodents when they drip down the stem. For a high volume of trees and plants, use a spray bottle or backpack sprayer. Apply the soap in a circle around each plant and tree from a distance of 3 feet (0.91 m). For medium-sized gardens, use a spray bottle to apply the soap. If your garden is on the larger side, pour your liquid soap into a backpack sprayer for application. Conduct reapplication every 63 days to mimic repellent spray programs. Note that liquid soap can sometimes increase damage from other animal species. Always keep an eye out for damage and switch to bars if this appears to be the case.

summary: Shave bar soap and sprinkle it around seedlings that have yet to appear. Create soap cubes and skewer them near budding smaller plants. Cut your soap bars in half and hang them in your garden to protect larger trees and plants. Spray liquid soap around your plants and trees if you have a big garden.


Summarize the following:
It’s difficult and inadvisable to handcuff someone who is actively resisting. Before beginning to handcuff an uncooperative suspect, concentrate on controlling them first. If you can’t restrain them with your hands or body it might be best to step back and use a non-lethal method to subdue them, such as a Taser or an expandable baton.  Always be ready for resistance, even if the suspect seems to be cooperative. If you are within six feet of a suspect you need to act as if you are anticipating a struggle. Speak confidently, keep your grip on firm, and apply the handcuffs swiftly. If your suspect can’t see the actual process of handcuffing they are unlikely to resist in an effective way. This means handcuffing them from behind while facing a wall or other large object. Try to avoid handcuffing a person directly against an object like a wall or car. If they decide to resist, it will give them a surface to leverage against and they may injure themselves or you. Stand with your feet slightly parted and knees slightly bent so that you can keep your balance in the face of an assault. If your suspect begins violently resisting and you aren’t properly balanced they may knock you over, resulting to injury in yourself and the possible loss of your suspect. While keeping your balance, try to limit theirs. Have the suspect spread their feet apart and bend slightly forward, or handcuff them while they’re kneeling on the ground. Handcuffs should be stored in a loaded position, meaning that the shackle jaw should be pushed through the ratchet in the body of the cuff until it's almost through. Check that the double lock is not already engaged––this should only be operated after cuffing. Be knowledgeable about your handcuffs. Always read the manual in advance so that you will know the information you need to know. There are several kinds of handcuffs so you need to be familiar with your own.
summary: Take control of the situation. Restrict your suspect’s field of vision. Keep your balance. Carry handcuffs correctly.
