Abstract
This case study outlines the holistic development of an adolescent soccer player, placing focus on the welfare of the individual first and the performer second. The client, an adolescent soccer player, was seeking support as family life disturbances were having a negative impact on his mental health and general wellbeing. In addition, scholarship decisions were imminent, and the client felt his performance had deteriorated. An introduction to the practitioner and client is provided, along with an account of the challenging and anxiety provoking process encountered. Practitioner reflections are embedded throughout, and recommendations for other trainee sport psychology practitioners are provided. This case highlights the potentially unforeseen roles sport psychology practitioners may, at times, be required to step into to best support their clients. It demonstrates the benefit of seeking guidance and support from supervisors, collaborating with other members of a multi-disciplinary team, and the importance of having a clearly defined philosophy of practice to ensure one is working from a place of congruence.
