What is Sport Psychology?
Sport Psychology is the application of psychological principles and techniques to assist athletes, coaches, and teams in developing cognitive and physical skills enhancing athletic performance in competitive situations. Sport psychologists teach athletes performance enhancing skills, mental training techniques, how to overcome psychological and performance difficulties, and assist with personal growth and development. In this way, sport psychologists help athletes increase their ability of achieving peak performances. For athletes experiencing performance difficulties, sport psychology interventions, with assistance from the coach, can help improve athletic performance and resolve difficulties to get the athlete back to peak performance. Sport psychology techniques can be used with individuals or small groups.
