The early career experiences of recent graduates represent a vital data point in understanding the health of a field. Sport and Performance Psychology (SPP) has historically faced questions over the viability of employment options for its growing number of graduate students. Regular, systematic work was done to understand the work experiences, opportunities, and challenges, of recent SPP graduates from 1984 through 1999 (Andersen et al., 1997; Waite & Pettit, 1993; Williams & Scherzer, 2003) (;). Little work has been completed since this line of inquiry. Without work in this area, future professionals often begin training with little knowledge of the likelihood of their future career (REDACTED). The current study, a quantitative follow-up to previous research with graduate students, examined participants’ experiences and perceptions of transitioning from graduate school into employment. Respondents (n = 46) reported high levels of satisfaction with their careers despite facing several obstacles. Similar to historical surveys of recent graduates, only a small percentage were doing fulltime SPP work. Among doctoral graduates, 70% reported that they did any applied SPP work, and only 40% of master’s graduates indicated they worked with athletes or other populations. Frustrations regarding limited market and financial support for services were expressed at similar levels to past investigations (Andersen et al., 1997; Williams & Scherzer, 2003). The current study begins to provide data to help professionals and the field better understand the realities of beginning a career in SPP in the current climate.
