The Discipline of Sports Psychology

Lying between athletic training and personal counselling, the discipline of sports psychology varies widely, depending on the sport and the practitioner. This is because the focus is about how different areas of competition affect the player’s or team’s overall mindset.

The ultimate aim is the well-being of athletes. Therefore mental toughness is promoted by sports performance psychologists. This optimises athletic achievement, with the aim of helping them stay independent of negativity.

‘You’re lucky when you’re young if you find someone that doesn’t talk down to you, that treats you seriously, as a serious person. If you want to be taken seriously, then take something seriously, don’t coast.’

–  Edward Norton
