Summary/Abstract: In the present paper we focus on the athlete and the artist, who are selected according to their physical, psychological and artistic abilities in order to perform high quality professional activities. The athlete’s and the artist’s psychological training are aimed at achieving professional success (the term success is used in the sense of outstandingly good result). As we have found common elements in the psychological training for both domains, we have tried to emphasize the common ground they share, in a process of transfer of specific means (specific exercises) from one area to the other. In a practical study, we demonstrate the importance of the psychological element within the general training for those practising these professions (arts).
