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.
