Sports & Performance Psychology
Specialized therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona
Strengthen your competitive edge & prioritize your mental health.
Sport psychology teaches athletes skills to perform more consistently in practices and games or competitions. Athletes learn how to sustain focus, set goals, regulate energy levels, and building confidence, which all help to increase their level of success and enjoyment in the sport.
Sports psychology can also help increase an athlete’s motivation and enjoyment of the game, remove fear and anxiety, teach emotional control, develop positive character and sportsmanship skills, and find a healthy balance between sports and other aspects of life.
