About the Journal
The BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF SPORT PSYCHOLOGY & HUMAN DEVELOPMENT (BJSPHD) is the result of the joint efforts of two institutions that, throughout their history, have distinguished themselves in the production of knowledge and the development of solid practices in the field: the Laboratory of Studies and Research in Sport Psychology (LEPESPE), at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Institute of Biosciences, Rio Claro, and the Brazilian Association for Studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology (ABEPPEx).
It is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on the areas of Sport Psychology and Human Development, including their relationship with technology and new media. We encourage the publication of works covering topics ranging from school Physical Education to high-performance sports, from childhood to aging, and the broad areas of the Human Sciences, focusing on human movement and its nuances.
This is a continuously published journal, fully available in digital format and with free access. The journal adopts an Open Access policy, ensuring broad dissemination and democratization of scientific knowledge.
BJSPHD uses the OJS (Open Journal Systems) system for its publication and is hosted on the Journal Portal of the Library of the São Paulo State University (UNESP), Institute of Biosciences, Rio Claro, which provides the infrastructure for the journal to operate.

Vol. 1 No. 3 (2025): Continuous Publication
It is with immense satisfaction that we present to the public the 3rd edition, volume 1, of the year 2025, of the Brazilian Journal of Sport Psychology and Human Development (BJSPHD).
The BJSPHD was born with a clear mission to consolidate and expand the paths of Sport Psychology and related areas, increasing its relevance both in Brazil and internationally.
The BJSPHD is the result of the union of efforts between two institutions that, throughout history, have stood out for the production of knowledge and the construction of solid practices in the field: the Laboratory of Studies and Research in Sport Psychology (LEPESPE), of UNESP – Rio Claro, and the Brazilian Association of Studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology (ABEPPEx). Together, these institutions have become protagonists in the consolidation of a critical, innovative Sport Psychology that is deeply connected to social, educational, and sporting demands.
May this issue, published continuously, inspire new practices, foster debate, and motivate the continuation of a project fueled by a passion for knowledge and ethical responsibility towards science and society.
We wish everyone an engaging and fruitful reading experience.
