WHAT IS SPORT PSYCHOLOGY?Sport Psychology is the application of psychological principles and techniques to assist athletes, coaches, and teams in developing cognitive and physical skills enhancing athletic performance in competitive situations. Sport psychologists teach athletes performance enhancing skills, mental training techniques, how to overcome psychological and performance difficulties, and assist with personal growth and development. In this way, sport psychologists help athletes increase their ability of achieving peak performances. For athletes experiencing performance difficulties, sport psychology interventions, with assistance from the coach, can help improve athletic performance and resolve difficulties to get the athlete back to peak performance. Sport psychology techniques can be used with individuals or small groups. WHAT IS A SPORT PROFILE?The Sport Profile is designed to measure attributes and abilities that relate to successful performance as an athlete. The athlete completes several assessments that identify personality traits and psychological characteristics. The results are compiled into a brief report that discusses the results specific to athletic competition and the sport(s) played. Strengths and areas of improvement are identified for the athlete, along with specific suggestions to help improve mental and athletic performance. Dr. Monteleone and the athlete review the results together to answer questions and to collaboratively develop a plan to achieve your athletic performance goals. A Sport Profile can be completed for most adolescent and adult athletes. Athletes out of town will be provided feedback via phone consultation.
