Sports Psychology
What is Sport Psychology?
Sport psychology is a specialization within psychology that seeks to
understand psychological/mental factors that affect performance in sports,
physical activity and exercise and apply these to enhance individual and
team performance. It deals with increasing performance by managing emotions
and minimizing the psychological effects of injury and poor performance.
Some of the topics covered are goal setting, relaxation, visualization,
self-talk, awareness and control, concentration, and using routines.
The principles and theories may be applied to any performance tasks (e.g.,
playing a musical instrument, acting in a play, coaching, and sports).
Sport Psychology at Manchester Athletic Club
We have all heard the saying a thousand times that "most sports are 90%
mental and 10% physical". And even if this were only 50% true - shouldn't
you be practicing your mental game 50% of the time? After working in
multiple settings with athletes of many different backgrounds and abilities
in sports, Joe Spano has put together a Mental Performance Enhancement program
called AMPED. This unique program is based around the concept that Sport
Psychology should be interactive and performance based. This concept allows
for the application of sport specific training with mental performance training which allows for
better retention and real RESULTS!
TAKE YOUR PERFORMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!
