An unhelpful mindset can hold us back
I work with athletes of all ages and teams and coaches to enhance wellbeing and performance through developing mental skills. Together we can work to overcome challenges and consistently improve your mental approach to your sporting performance. Sport psychology can help with a whole range of areas, not just performance and wellbeing. Some key areas sport psychology can help with are:
Understanding yourself as an athlete
Coping with an injury (recovery and career-ending)
Building confidence and self-belief
Understanding and increasing motivation
Improving concentration and attention control/focus
Improving preparation for performances
Assessing and developing self-talk
Understanding and building upon strengths
Dealing with team dynamics (relationships with coaches, team mates and competitors)
Managing pressure situations (e.g. competitions) and controlling emotions in key moments
Coping with setbacks
Setting goals
Managing anxiety and stress
Navigating difficult decisions
Developing an identity beyond being an athlete
Overall wellbeing
Developing communication skills
Enjoyment of the sport
Transition in sport (e.g. between teams and through retirement)
