Sports Performance Counseling
Overcoming Performance Fears and Blocks
Mental toughness… Resilience… Grit… These are the key factors that determine success for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Yes, physical skill and preparation are necessary. But most of the time, the factors that distinguish the difference between success and failure are psychological. Work with a sports psychologist to develop individual athlete and teams performance profiles, set specific and tangible goals, learn psychological skills (visualization, pre-performance routines, concentration techniques) and optimize success in all areas of life.
Performance Slumps
It seems that no matter what the athlete, parents or coaches try, the block, fear or slump will not release its nasty grip. Of course, the athlete’s futile efforts to extricate him/herself only leads them deeper and deeper into the maze of increasing frustration, decreasing self-confidence and increasing performance anxiety that always seems to make the whole situation that much worse.
Delivering Peak Performance
Sport and performance psychologists focus on identifying and applying psychological principles that facilitate peak sport performance, enhance people’s participation in physical activities and help athletes achieve optimal human performance. This subfield of psychology focuses on identifying and applying psychological principles that facilitate peak sport performance, enhance physical ability and achieve optimal human performance.
Be a Champion
Helping athletes and teams overcome problems that impede performance. Teaching strategies that maximize physical prowess. Working with them to overcome anxiety or a traumatic experience, such as a concussion or tear, that is affecting their confidence. Other clients might need help communicating with colleagues or teammates or accepting a coach’s critiques.
