1. AASP Certification Supervision: The Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) is the most recognized certification authority in the industry. It has challenging certification requirements that include a graduate degree, coursework in psychology, counseling and kinesiology, and a practicum of direct supervised hours with athletes. For those who are on track to meet the educational requirements but not the supervision hours, Dr. Neff has created a service that can help you. The cost is $2,000 and can be spread out over the initial months. Using video, phone and internet, Dr. Neff will work directly with you to satisfy the AASP supervision requirements, no matter where you reside.
2. Certified Mental Trainer® (CMT): Before working 1-on-1 with athletes as part of the MTI Team, we require all staff to complete our internal certification requirements. Once completed, all Mental Trainers® will be able to use the professional designation of "CMT". AASP certified consultants who have joined the MTI Team have already met most of our criteria and will be more quickly awarded the CMT designation. Those not AASP certified will need to complete the following program ($1,000):

• Weekly meetings with Dr. Neff;
• 50 hours of direct client consultation using the MTI Consultation Process;
• knowledge test over the MTI performance enhancement core concepts;
• knowledge test over program design and problem solving;
• knowledge test over the competitive sport industry (history and terminology of the 20 biggest sports); and,
• knowledge test over basic business practices (accounting, marketing, time management, networking, etc.).
