As a football coach and player, I've always loved sports. I've been playing all my life, and I know from experience just how much hard work good athletes put into their sport. Of course, no matter what you do, you can't always win - and that can be hard to swallow. That's where our team's mental coach really shines. He got certified online before joining us- and since he did, the players' spirit has gone up and we've managed to learn more from our losses instead of dwelling on them. - Employer speaks
Trends
Athletes and coaches alike are turning to technology to master more complex mindfulness and motivational techniques. While these apps are a great tool for novice athletes, they can't compete with targeted assistance from a genuine psychology expert. A sport psychology education is a huge asset for every athlete or coach. You'll master proven training methods, learn valuable tips and tricks and find out how to coach every athlete to the top.
Sports psychology, 100% of the time
It's getting easier to accurately test an athlete's psychological resilience. Psychologists have a large array of tools at their disposal - but the basics haven't changed. Sports psychology starts from the foundation of general and applied psychology. Sports psychologists are psychology experts who specialize in helping athletes. Over the years, they develop techniques and specialize - which means different coaches can be the right fit for different athletes.
As a basketball coach, I know how important mental resilience is. My players' parents are also painfully aware of that. I decided to take an online course, because I see the potential my kids have and I want to foster that. The course made me realize that not every player requires the same approach. By now, I've learned to motivate everyone in my team and keep them going even if things go wrong. Our winning percentage has gone up, so has our overall spirit. - Ex-student speaking
