Vol. 1 No. 4 (2025): Publicação Contínua

It is with great satisfaction that we present to the public issue number 4, volume 1, year 2025, of the Brazilian Journal of Sport Psychology and Human Development (BJSPHD) — the fourth publication of this year, which concludes the 2025 editorial cycle with great pride and proof that we have progressed in a consistent, solid, and inspiring way.

Throughout this period, the BJSPHD has established foundations, focuses, and guidelines, and is becoming increasingly stronger, always with the mission of consolidating, disseminating, and expanding the horizons of Sport Psychology and related areas, reaffirming its commitment to quality scientific production and the valorization of knowledge applied to human, social, and sporting contexts — in Brazil and internationally. Each edition published in 2025 represented an important step in building a critical, pluralistic journal deeply committed to science and society. This fourth edition, which successfully closes the year, significantly expresses this trajectory.

The articles that make up this issue embody the diversity, theoretical depth, and social relevance that BJSPHD seeks to promote, being the result of a partnership between the Laboratory for Studies and Research in Sports Psychology (LEPESPE) at UNESP – Rio Claro, and the Brazilian Association for Studies in Sports and Exercise Psychology (ABEPPEx). This institutional union has enabled the strengthening of a critical, innovative, and sensitive Sports Psychology to the multiple human, educational, and social dimensions that permeate the sporting phenomenon—and the consistent progress of the journal throughout this year is a direct reflection of this collective commitment.

We end 2025 with the joy of realizing how much the journal has grown, expanded its reach, diversified its themes, and consolidated its editorial project. May this edition, published continuously, continue to stimulate reflection, inspire transformative practices, and promote fruitful dialogues among researchers, professionals, and students.

May the next year bring new challenges, new productions, and the same commitment to scientific rigor, ethical responsibility, and a passion for knowledge.

We wish everyone an engaging, insightful, and productive reading experience.
