The sample was composed by 323 athletes and 59 coaches from different sports competitive levels. It was used a general questionnaire and a specific one about the topics related to sports psychology (TEPA), constituted by 30 questions divided into 5 groups (youth sports, psychological strategies, questionnaires, psychological profiles and others). It was used the Student Test "t" test ANOVA for mean comparisons. Athletes and coaches considered important all training aspects (physical, technical, tactical and psychological), however they had less knowledge in the psychological one. Coaches and athletes considered the 5 sport psychology topics as important, but coaches showed a more significant importance (p<0,05).
