Sports psychology is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the mental and emotional aspects of sports and exercise. It studies how psychological factors influence athletic performance and physical activity, and how participation in sports and exercise affects mental health and well-being. Sports psychologists work with athletes, coaches, and teams to enhance performance, manage stress, improve motivation, develop mental resilience, and foster a positive competitive mindset. The field encompasses areas such as motivation, confidence, anxiety, concentration, and the psychological effects of injuries. Ultimately, sports psychology aims to help individuals maximize their performance potential and achieve their personal and athletic goals through mental skills training and psychological support.
