In high-pressure environments, you need the mental fortitude to drown out the noise and keep your head in the game. As a former collegiate athlete and certified mental game coaching professional, I provide mental skills training so you can excel both on and off the field.
Sports Psychology, also known as mental skills training, is a program that allows you to learn proven mental strategies to improve your performance. This type of educational program is appropriate for athletes at all levels, members of the military, emergency responders, medical professionals, business executives, and more - anyone who needs to perform under pressure can benefit from mental skills training.
Over a series of sessions, you'll learn specific, practical strategies to address mental blocks, build resilience, and manage distractions. After an initial consultation, we'll jump into a comprehensive assessment of your mental skills, identify specific, measurable goals, and work together to find strategies that work for you. If you're looking to improve your confidence, motivation, focus, and resilience in any of the specialty areas listed below, sports psychology can help.
Mental skills training sessions may explore cognitive and emotional processes that create barriers to success. This is different than psychotherapy in that these barriers will only be discussed in the performance context. If, after assessment, psychotherapy is warranted, that recommendation will be made.
Your mental practice is key to any achievement. You train your body and improve your technique, you learn plays and routines, you study your opponent for weaknesses- but how often do you work on your mental skills?
As a lifelong athlete, I understand how difficult it can be to achieve your goals if your mind is working against you, and as a licensed psychologist, I know the sports psychology skills backed by research.
No matter what your goals are, I can teach you the specific, practical strategies to reach them by building confidence, motivation, focus, and resilience. What are you waiting for?
