Abstract

<p>The popularity of sports in our country is nearing a peak as the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Tokyo in 2020. However, athletes who are the central characters in sports often have psychosomatic problems. Therefore, it is necessary to provide psychosomatic support to athletes. In Japan, Certified Mental Training Consultants in Sports, certified by the Japanese Society of Sport Psychology, are flourishing. It is expected that close and continuous collaboration will occur between psychosomatic medical experts and Certified Mental Training Consultants in Sports. Consequently, it is necessary to expand the foundations of clinical sport psychology in our country. The collaboration and cooperation between psychosomatic medicine and sports psychology is expected to continue long after the 2020 events.</p>
