Reasons for consulting with a Clinical Sport Psychologist can be roughly divided into four categories:

The primary concerns relate to the multiple stressors and issues accompanying termination of athletic careers due to either serious injury or to voluntary or involuntary career completion, where there is little realistic prospect of reinstating or preserving the career;
Psychological reactions reflecting either a normative or exceptional grieving process such as anger, depression, and anxiety may exist, and family and other relationship issues are likely to require significant attention
Career realities contraindicate performance enhancement
Counselling or psychological treatment is clearly the psychosocial intervention of choice
