sport psychology
These days, sport psychology is a very important key for elite athletes’ performance success. The difference between wining and losing is often not only in physical ability but also in mental strenght. This is why mental training is as important as the physical, technical and tactical training.
Preparing Elite Athletes
We work with all psychological variables that can interfere in your performance:
- Building-up your self-confidence
- Sustaining attention & concentration
- Regulating your motivation
- Managing stress levels
- Reaching your optimal level of arousal
Working with us, you will develop skills and strategies that will help you arrive to the competition at your optimal mental state.
Feeling pressured, getting distracted and managing mistakes, are some of the difficulties showing up during competitions. Train with us to achieve your best performance.
In sport, injuries are inevitable and being mentally strong during the recovery process, will help you manage the emotional impact of the injury.
Working with Sport Coaches
Sport coaches are key pieces in the athlete’s journey and, as sport psychologists, we can become their best ally.
We can help with:
- Strengthen communication with athletes
- Emotional regulation during competitions
- Strengthen decision making
- Leadership
- Manage pressure & high levels of stress
- Preparing for training & competitions
- Identifying psychological demands and needs
Working with Young Athletes
We help young athletes grow from within and learn to compete.
A young athlete is ready to compete when they have the resources to:
- respond to stressful situations
- regulate own anxiety
- manage making mistakes
- regulate emotions
- accept losing
- work with goals that depend on them, that are under their control
Working with Parents
When working with young athletes, it is also important to work with their parents.
Understanding & knowing parents’ role in their child’s sport, will help parents have a positive influence in the young athlete’s mental state.
One of our goal is ‘young athletes need to continue practising sport so the sport can continue to provide the psychological, physical and social benefits’.
