WHERE?

Performance psychologists focus on identifying and applying psychological principles that facilitate peak performance, enhance people’s participation in their chosen field and to achieve their optimal human performance. This is possible at your place of training or performance.

Sometimes in situ sessions aren’t possible or suitable. You may be on tour, living abroard or currently overseas in competition for example. Session can then be easily undertaken online.  Same content, anytime, anywhere.

Performance psychologists are experts in helping athletes, artists and professionals overcome issues that impede performance. Some teach strategies that help clients maximize their physical prowess; others work with clients to overcome anxiety or a traumatic experience, such as a ski fall, that is affecting their confidence. Other clients might need skills to manage pre-performance nerves,  skills to enhance focus and reduce distraction, or skills to help communicating with colleagues or teammates or accepting a coach’s critiques and feedback.

Emerging research from the field of sports pyschology has already proven effective for professional sports teams and individuals. Why not adapt the same concepts and mental skills training where they are needed for people who perform regularly under pressure such as performing artists, surgeons, e-sports, miltary personel? What makes the G.O.A.T’s different from the other professional elite is, when it comes to getting it right when it all matters is, ‘ the top 2 inches’ i.e your brain. what most people overlook is the fact that the greatest performers are not born with the physical prowess and mental resilience they later display. There is a tremendous amount of preparation and training that goes into performing at this level, and success almost always depends on both physical and mental training.

Performers livelihoods depend on the ability to make it happen when it matters. Mental toughness and the ability to persevere under pressure, performance psychologists can help.

This subfield of psychology focuses on identifying and applying psychological principles that facilitate peak sport performance, enhance physical ability and achieve optimal human performance.

Athletes aren’t the only clients utilising the benefits of psychology but the domain of sports was one of the first to do so. Consider the rigors of performing surgery, for example. Doctors may need help gaining the confidence to return to the operating room after losing a patient.  Miltary personel may needs mental skills to support there strenuous training and experiences. Dancers may needs support whilst managing an injury, actors or comedians may need support getting back on stage following a crisis offstage in their personal lives. Performers are humans, not robots. 

In all of these situations, tapping into the potential of human performance is the key so that individuals can hone resilience skills and perform at their best.
