When you become a Spencer Institute Certified Sports Psychology Coach, you will have two primary objectives, so you can help your clients achieve high-level performance and results.
#1 Understand how psychological factors affect an individual’s physical performance and overall mental toughness.
#2 Understand how participation in sport and fitness affects a person’s psychological development, health, and well-being.
Sport psychology coaches help by increasing performance by managing emotions and minimizing the psychological effects of injury and poor performance.
Most performance challenges that athletes and other fitness enthusiasts have are not always a result of poor conditioning, improper coaching, or a lack of physical skills or technical ability. Obviously, these physical or mechanical factors can lower performance. It’s in the mind. And, you can make the difference for individuals and teams.
When the pressure is on, the person or team that falters most often does so because of mental factors like nervousness, intimidation, lagging concentration, negativity, lack of confidence or an inability to release past mistakes. You will guide your client or team to smoothly move through these challenges.
A vital part of sports psychology is imagery; the process by which you can create, modify or strengthen pathways important to the coordination of your muscles, by training purely within your mind. Imagination is the driving force of imagery. As a certified coach, you will help your clients create the images that take them to the top of their sport or activity of choice.
You will learn easy-to-use, high-level skills so you can become an essential part of your clients’ success.
Here are some examples of areas of expertise you will master to help your clients:
- The psychological aspects of personality and character, defined by states and traits.
- The influence of one’s mind on actions used to express their character or personality and to present one’s states and traits.
- The positive attributes of sport that support healthy mental and emotional cognition
- The determinants of success in players, specific sports, competition and even practice
- The dynamics required to coach individuals versus groups and the factors that support positive flow for either situation
- Psychological Skills Training – the cornerstone of all great Exercise and Sport Psychologists (ESP) coaching; this includes everything from developing vision with imagery to the control of athlete/player/client arousal and anxiety levels
- Understanding motivation, self-determination and initiative – including the use of proper feedback techniques for different stages of readiness
