Sport Psychology

Sport Psychology is the study of how psychological factors influence sports, athletic performance, exercise, and physical activity. It encompasses the mental aspects of training and competition, including motivation, concentration, anxiety management, and mental resilience. Sport psychologists work with athletes to enhance performance, improve mental well-being, and develop coping strategies for the pressures of competing. The field combines principles from psychology and sports science to understand the mental processes that affect athletes and to apply this knowledge to enhance their performance and enjoyment of the sport.
