Sports psychology is the study of how psychological factors influence sports, athletic performance, exercise, and physical activity. Sports psychologists investigate how participating in sports can improve health and well being. They also help athletes utilize psychology to improve their sports performance and mental well-being. They don’t just work with elite and professional athletes, however. They also help regular people learn how to enjoy sports and learn to stick to an exercise program. They utilize exercise and athletics to enhance people’s lives and well-being. With a sports psychology background, you will be better equipped to help your clients who have hit a rut or are feeling discouraged in their training. By being able to work with your athletes through both mental and physical challenges, you can increase their success while enhancing your own career. Most positions require a master’s or doctoral degree in clinical, counselling or sport psychology.
