The present study is part of the sport psychology, seeking to understand the professional qualification and production in sport psychology in Amazonas. Were mapped possible productions, besides accredited courses in psychology and physical education and their respective curricular structures aiming to identify the insertion of thematic as a discipline and research groups with lines in this topic. In general, the results point to an unconfirmed scientific context and a significant offer of sport psychology subjects in the baccalaureate in the area. Of note is the recent growth of the monographs addressing the subject and the non-disclosure of the results of the research as a problem to be faced. It is suggested the creation of alternatives inserted in the academic context aiming to promote the dissemination of the productions, as well as the discussion on the field of sports psychology.
