The idea of a European Network of Young Specialists in Sports Psychology was born in July 1999 on the occasion of the 10th European Congress of Sports Psychology in Prague (Czech Republic). The factual association "ENYSSP" was founded at the first General Meeting held on the occasion of the 11th European Congress on Sports Psychology in Copenhagen (Denmark) in July 2003. Since the offical foundation of ENYSSP four different Management Councils have been in place which were led by the former presidents Xavier Sanchez (ESP), Caroline Jannes (BEL), and Fredrik Weibull (SWE), and the current president Peter Schneider (USA). As of January 2017 ENYSSP is legalized as an international non-profit association according to EU Law.
