The pre-Congress events are already working for the program ‘Road to Seville’, consisting of an international seminary about Sport Psychology. It will be about the European scientific project ‘PsyTool’, whose headquarters is located in Seville, and it will take place at the Pablo de Olavide University. The new tool ‘PsyTool’ was created to educate young athletes in values, eradicate violence and encourage fair play in Sport thanks to sport psychology and training. The conclusions and results of the European project will be presented at the Sport Psychology World Congress in Seville, on 2017.
The Congress is supported by the Spanish Federation of Sport Psychology (FEPD), the Regional Department of Tourism and Sport of the Council of Andalusia, and the Provincial Council and the City Council of Seville.
It will take place from 10th to 14th July 2017, at the University of Seville and it will be supported by the Pablo de Olavide University. The event, which takes place in Spain for the second time ever, will host more than 1.000 members of the Congress from all over the world to discuss issues of interest for Sport psychologists, Sport professionals, trainers, referees, executives and athletes.
