What is Sport and Fitness Psychology?

Home » Treatment Therapies » Sport and Fitness Psychology

Sport and Fitness Psychology involves studying factors that affect physical activity and performance.

Mental health is critical to athletic performance, and Sports and Fitness psychologists work to promote mental health so that athletes can feel and perform at their best.

If you’re a serious athlete, competitor, or someone interested in improving competitive performance ability, you might benefit from meeting with a Sport and Fitness psychologist.

Your counselor will assist you in determining your specific performance goals. From there, they will collaborate with you to develop a plan using cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness, and physical techniques. Each person’s needs are unique, so your Sport and Fitness psychologist will help you pinpoint exactly what’s best to focus on for achieving your performance and fitness goals.
