Purpose: The purpose of this study were; 1) to review the developmental stages and their features of the past, and current status of sport psychology in Korea, and 2) to suggest appropriate implications for future development. Methods: Articles published in Korean Journal of Sport Psychology(KJSP: 1990-2017) were reviewed and its chronological and academic meanings were examined to extract meaningful implication. Results: Five developmental stages, (i.e., dawn, beginning, growth, development, and stagnant period) and their features of each stage were introduced. Results revealed that Korean Society of Sport Psychology(KSSP) has been developed in various aspects but still needs more actions to develop further. Conclusion: If no innovative means are adopted nor all KSSP members give their maximum efforts to develop further, no further development is guaranteed. And current is the right time for all KSSP members to pull their socks up again to prepare the future.

 IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE
  More demands will occur and continuous grow in theapplied sport psychology/exercise psychology usinginter-disciplinary integration.
  It will gradually retrogress in the immediatefuture, particularly in practice/consultation area.
  Only a few number of sport psychology graduatedoctoral programs will survive.
  All KSSP members should equip with ‘consciousnessof crisis’ mind and give their maximum efforts to developKSSP as an ‘morally matured efficient system’.
