Why Sports Psychology?

While athletes focus on developing their physical abilities to excel in their sport, many neglect conditioning their mindset, which is the vital ingredient between good and great athletes.

”The most important attribute a player must have is mental toughness.”

Mia Hamm

Indicators that an athlete would benefit from working with a sports psychologist:

  • Wanting to gain the mental edge

  • Desire to get recruited for the sport (college or professional)

  • Trouble moving past mistakes/errors 

  • Dealing with an injury and not wanting to lose their competitive edge

  • Performing better in practice versus competition

  • Trouble getting along with coach or teammates 

  • Getting stuck “in their head”

  • Difficulty controlling emotions and stress

  • Struggling with playing at their highest potential

Despite its vital impact on performance, most athletes do not get the mental training needed to truly excel. That’s where sports psychology comes in.

Benefits of working with an effective sports psychologist include:

  • Gaining your mental edge, regardless of what is happening

  • Improving your athletic performance 

  • Healing during an injury 

  • Cultivate coping skills to manage emotions and stress

  • Getting into “the Zone” more frequently 

  • Enjoying the sport more

  • Overcoming mistakes more quickly and moving forward

  • Peak performance during competitions  

  • Being a better teammate
