The following internship report is integrated in the Internship/Dissertation curricular unit and will allow me to conclude the Sport Psychology and Human Development Master's Degree at the Faculty of Sports of the University of Porto. The purpose of the internship focused on applying the knowledge acquired over the two years of the Master's degree into a real-life context. This internship report will document the experiences lived as an intern in Sport Psychology and Human Development in the Athletics team of Boavista Football Club (BFC), in the academic year of 2019/2020. The Boavista Football Club is an institution well-known and recognised, mostly by its professional football team, however, over the last two years, it has essentially focused on different sports, in which athletics is included. The preference for this sport made it possible to carry out the internship at the institution and, in the report now presented, I will address the objectives and expectations, the actions and tasks carried out, without forgetting the role that the coach has in the motivation of athletes and their sporting performance. Thus, this report aims to address the challenging period of internship in the Boavista F.C. athletics team, where the ideals learned during the Master's Degree were put into practice. Primarily, the initial assessment centred on direct and indirect observation, conducting questionnaires, and exchanging information with the technical team. Later, the action was focused between the athletes, namely regarding conflict management and stress management, so that they improved their performance and reached a state of emotional well-being. The coach was also the subject of the main action, as it played a key element in the team. It is important to say that I did an investigation related to emotions and anxiety in athletics, which will be described in this report.
