Abstract [sv]

The purpose of this study was to describe practitioners` attitudes towards mental training and what attitudes scientists believe the practitioners have. Additionally this paper wants to describe practitioners´ and scientists´ view on the gap between science and professional practice, and what ideas they have about bridging the gap. Another purpose was to describe practitioners´ opinions about the competence and confidence in sport psychologists, and what opinions scientist believe practitioners have. This is a qualitative study and the data were gathered by interviewing twelve individuals (six males/six females). This group of individuals was divided in three subgroups, elite coaches, elite athletes and scientiests. The results show: that the practitioners had fully realised the importance of mental training, but did not consciously use in their daily practice. Both scientists´ and practitioners´ apprehensions were that knowledge, education, language, communication, marketing and practical implications were the most important factors in bridging the gap between sport psychology theory and practice. Practitioners´ opinions about sport psychology competence varies.
