What is Sport Psychology?
Sport psychology is a specialized field that focuses on the mental and emotional aspects of athletic performance, physical activity, and exercise. It combines principles from psychology and Kinesiology to help athletes and individuals involved in sports understand how mental factors influence performance, motivation, confidence, and overall well-being.
What we offer
At The Therapy Collective we work with athletes to develop strategies for enhancing concentration, managing pressure, overcoming performance anxiety, setting goals, and maintaining focus. They also address broader issues like team dynamics, injury recovery, and balancing sport and personal life. The goal is to support athletes in optimizing their
mental game, achieving peak performance, and maintaining a positive mindset both in and out of competition.
Your tailored workshops integrate evidence based research in the fields of:
Psychology
Kinesiology

All of our Sessions can be tailored to your Teams & Associations Specific Needs
Mindset, focus & mindfulness
Mindfulness, mindset and focus training can help athletes stay present and fully engaged in the moment, reducing distractions and improving concentration during practice and competition. Our group sessions will walk athletes through various visualization, mindset and mindfulness techniques to help improve decision-making, enhance performance consistency, and develop a greater ability to maintain a positive mindset in high-stakes situations.
Performance Anxiety & Burnout
Athletes will learn to recognize the signs and triggers of performance anxiety and burnout, which can negatively impact their motivation, confidence, and enjoyment of the sport. Techniques such as cognitive reframing, relaxation exercises, and stress management strategies are taught to help athletes manage these challenges effectively. Using these techniques can help to maintain peak performance and support a healthier athletic career.
Resilience and Grit
Resilience and grit are critical skills for successful athletes. Our workshops help guide athletes to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and to stay determined despite setbacks or failures. Through various evidence based techniques athletes learn to re-frame negative experiences and maintain focus on their long-term aspirations. This training helps athletes build a robust mindset, fostering persistence, adaptability, and the ability to thrive under pressure.
