AB  - The field of sports psychology has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, largely influenced by global changes caused by the pandemic. One notable development is the evolution of e-sports psychology from an emergency solution to a permanent and integral component of a specialist’s repertoire. The objective of this paper is to provide a concise overview of the contemporary provision of psychological services through online consultations in competitive sport. The advent of global digitalisation has effectively eliminated geographical barriers, ensuring the crucial continuity of psychological care irrespective of an athlete’s mobility. Concurrently, it has introduced a novel, specific dynamic of interaction. The discussion highlighted that the elimination of logistical constraints and the lowering of the threshold for cooperation render digital solutions a tool with unprecedented potential. This in turn allows for more effective outreach to a wide audience. It was noted that the virtual environment may have certain limitations regarding non-verbal cues. However, it also provides a secure space for interaction that can greatly surpass the potential of traditional face-to-face consultations. The proposal is to move away from perceiving e-psychology methods in sport solely as an alternative. It was concluded that technology-mediated interventions open up new perspectives of accessibility and flexibility, often constituting the most optimal form of support, best suited to the fast pace and dynamics of an athlete’s functioning in the realities of modern sport.
