"[1] Clinical sport psychologists have training in psychology so that they can detect and treat individuals with emotional disorders.
In 1966, Ogilvie and fellow psychologist Thomas Tutko wrote Problem Athletes and How to Handle Them.
Ogilvie also determined that athletes in risky sports make concerted efforts to minimize their risks.
[4] In another study, Ogilvie says that fifty percent of people don't engage in any activities that cause them to sweat during the week.
Ogilvie decided to study the effects of attending a sporting event in person or watching it on TV.
Ogilvie says that attending a sporting event serves as a fantasy escape for people and can be a form of hero modeling.
He attended the University of San Francisco and studied psychology and also received his masters from Portland State.
