I want to explain the difference between sports psychology and counseling or clinical psychology. Sports psychology is based on a healthy model rather than a medical model. In the sports psychology world, we assume you are mentally healthy. From that point, we capitalize on your desire to improve your performance. Our approach helps you discover that you have another level to your game and teaches you how to get there. Doing that is a matter of recognizing where you are now and deliberately focusing on where you want to go. The beauty of this approach is that all of us have the ability to recognize our thinking and then change that thinking to produce thoughts that set us up to succeed. Sports psychology is grounded in that precept. The process is easier for some than for others, but with the right desire and the proper coaching, anyone can change his or her thinking. Changed thinking leads to a change in people’s actions and reactions, and this is what produces the results that they desire.
