Sports Psychologist
Sports psychologists apply psychological theory and evidence to help athletes, teams and coaches get the best out of performance while protecting mental health and wellbeing.
Working across elite institutes, clubs, schools, hospitals and private practice, they teach mental skills such as focus, goal setting, arousal control and stress management. They also support injury recovery and return to sport, consult on team dynamics and coach communication, and provide evidence-based help for anxiety, burnout or other mental health concerns that affect training and competition.
