Enhance Performance

As an applied sports psychology certified consultant, I address performance concerns that affect athletes in all areas of sport and exercise. I am trained in sport psychology to enhance performance through the reduction of performance anxiety, improvement of concentration, the setting of short and long term goals, and keeping those goals valid and relevant. I explain the consulting process to each client so they have a thorough understanding of what will take place.

Performance enhancement in the world of sports psychology refers to assisting athletes to improve in competition using methods known as psychosocial skills. I like to use a philosophical perspective. Some athletes lose motivation, or forget the reason they decided to compete. I can show clients how to maintain and increase motivation on the days they are down and have lost the desire to compete or train. I also have a programme addressing the psychological aspects of injury recovery. One thing I will not do is over-analyse situations — I do my best to keep it simple. I will explain the consultant’s role within a specific setting, and what is expected of the client, athlete or performer, so they can perform to their specifications.
