It examines how psychological factors such as motivation, confidence, concentration, and anxiety influence an athlete’s performance and overall well-being. Sport psychologists work with athletes, coaches, and teams to improve performance through mental training techniques, such as visualization, goal setting, and relaxation strategies. They also address issues related to the stress of competition, team dynamics, and the psychological effects of injuries. The goal of sport psychology is to enhance both the mental skills and the psychological health of athletes, contributing to their success in their respective sports.
