What is Sports Psychology?

We are all performers. Although the field is derived from a sports context, it is for anyone who desires to improve their mental game. The term "sport psychology" is also referred to as "mental performance" and "mental skills training." Sport psychology is applied in settings beyond sport, such as in business, the military, the performing arts, and many others.

Sport psychology is for all performers at any level, whether the goal is to restore performance or enhance performance. Achieving peak performance goes beyond the physical preparation. Every athlete is unique in their own ways. Some individuals seek services to reach their personal goals, overcome obstacles, to connect with their teammates, or to reignite their passion for their sport again.
