Abstract
This case study describes the consultancy experiences of targeting motivational climate within a youth performance hockey academy. Written from the perspective of a trainee sport and exercise psychologist, the theoretical and philosophical frameworks which guided the consultancy are described and justified, whilst discussing the unexpected challenges associated with consultancy implementation. The consultancy is evaluated with reference to lessons learnt, whilst also highlighting key reflexive and developmental considerations for the supervision and development of trainees and experienced practitioners alike.
