Studies indicate that perceived benefits of sport participation include learning new sport skills, making new friends and experiencing the excitement of competition. In essence, sport involvement offers a variety of benefits for those involved, especially when the experience proves positive for athletes and their loved ones. Ultimately, this enhances intrinsic motivation and an athlete’s desire to remain committed within a given sport,  thus,  promoting and reinforcing valuable life lessons.

 

Although sport participation produces a variety of benefits in value, sport could also present some of its challenges that might influence an unpleasant sport experience for the athlete, if not properly explored and addressed. Some presenting issues with sport involvement might include performance anxiety (overthinking) and confidence issues, to name just a few. The bright side is that sport and performance psychology is a growing field and more and more sport psychologist and mental performance consultants are becoming ever more present in the sporting realm to help support and guide individuals and teams through their journey in the sporting domain and beyond! 

 

Sport and Performance Psychology offers unique consulting opportunities for the individual athlete and teams, as well as parents of youth athletes and coaches. Below in the "services" section is a brief description of services offered for both the individual athlete and the team. Lastly, It's important to state that there’s a lot in value to be gained for the athletes, teams, parents and coaches who allow this opportunity to flourish into fruition.

Thank you.
