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 impacts psychological development, health, and well-being.
Sport psychology coaches help to improve performance by coaching athletes, players and clients to better manage emotions while understanding the psychological effects on performance.
The performance challenges that many athletes or fitness enthusiasts experience are not always the result of poor conditioning, improper coaching, or technical ability. While many factors can lower performance, the Certified Sport Psychology Coach (CSPC) works by understanding what is occurring in the mind. A credentialed CSPC is uniquely positioned to make a difference for individuals, groups 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.
