What is Sports Psychology?
Sports Psychology is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the psychological factors influencing athletic and performance outcomes.
According to the APA (American Psychological Association), Sports Psychology aims to:
- Help individuals reach goals: Sports psychologists work with athletes, performers, and professionals across various domains, helping them achieve their objectives by enhancing mental skills and strategies.
- Address performance anxiety: The field also assists individuals in managing anxiety and stress that can hinder performance in diverse settings, ranging from sports arenas to corporate boardrooms.
- Promote overall well-being: Additionally, sports psychology contributes to an individual’s holistic well-being by nurturing mental resilience, self-confidence, and effective coping mechanisms, as highlighted by the APA’s various resources on this topic
