Sport Psychology

 

Peter Mogan

 

 

Sport Psychology is an area of study within Sports Science focused on the mental aspects of sports performance. Essentially, how one thinks and feels impacts the brain and subsequent body movements and actions. Scientifically researched areas of Sport Psychology encompass the impact the mind has in most if not all sporting situations performed worldwide. Sports Psychologists support a whole range of athletes' from novice right up to professional. The use of sport psychology services is increasing in sport as amateurs right to elite level performers are seeking ways to perform at their best. Sports performers looking for an edge over their rivals seek the services of a sport psychologist for help with:

 

• Mood management

• Performance under pressure

• Depression and its impact on Sport

• Decision making skills

• Coping with success and failure

• Improving levels of awareness to heighten concentration

• Understanding self and others

• Managing frustration and anger

• Dealing with the psychological effects of injury (injured state, rehab, & the healing process)

• Improving communication between coach and athlete, athlete and coach, athlete and others around them

• Managing change

• Career transition

• 360° feedback, performance monitoring, and reflection

 

The therapeutic process associated with such services depends upon the practitioner. Gestalt and humanistically trained Sports Psychologists work in an ideographic sense (understanding the person, the situation, and the persons World) helping performers achieve their needs. Gestalt essentially means awareness, of the self, surroundings, and understanding of others. In sport the Gestalt approach helps increase awareness of decision making processes, and enables that sports person to be more aware of how they can solve their own challenges.

Clients who are looking to have a greater understanding of self, improve how they interact with others, overcome challenges, and problem solve will benefit from this support.
