Advances in neuroscience technology have opened up new ways of understanding the brain. This development has made it possible to work with new methodological approaches in sport psychology research. In the present study, I (first author) share an autoethnographic neurofeedback tale of my own sport psychology career struggles; from being an athlete with injuries and concentration problems to becoming a sport psychology practitioner using a neurosciences conceptual framework with a developing self-compassionate understanding of myself. Pursuing a sport psychology career has been as much a social mission as it has been a self-therapeutic journey trying to change my own messy brain for the better. Over a 4-year period I took systematic notes of my own neurofeedback training and responses to different neurofeedback protocols (e.g., SMR training over sensorimotor strip, alpha theta training at Pz and different bipolar placements). These systematic notes, which started with a cognitive-function focus, have continued to develop into explorations of emotional self-regulation and quality of life perspectives. I discuss the important lessons I learned (e.g., how to integrate different sport psychology skills to optimize neurofeedback learning, how to talk about one’s own neurofeedback experiences with clients). I hope future researchers will continue investigate this first-person, experiential neuroscience perspective that potentially can contribute to a better understanding of our brains and the potential of neurofeedback training for ourselves and the athletes and coaches we serve.
