Research methods and organization. The following research methods were employed: theoretical analysis of regulatory and legal, psychological and pedagogical literature, sociological surveys, interviews, and summarization of the results of theoretical studies. The research was conducted from January to July 2025 among organizations engaged in sports training (taking the Altai Krai as an example). Research results and conclusions. During the conducted study on the staffing of sports training groups, the absence of the position of 'sports psychologist' in the organizations of the Altai Territory engaged in sports training was revealed.

The results obtained allowed for the development of recommendations to improve the regulatory framework in order to enhance the effectiveness of psychological support for individuals undergoing sports training.
