Always showing top performance or even improving it in competitive sport is hard
work. Applied sports psychology supports this with scientifically sound
findings from theory and research and adapts them to practical situations. The clients
are mostly (but not only) competitive athletes, coaches, teams,
referees and the entire staff.
The overarching goal of applied sports psychology is to promote performance.
However, any sustainable promotion of performance requires the foundations of good
well-being and mental health. Particularly in junior competitive sport, where
young people are already struggling with the challenges of a "dual career",
can also make a contribution to personal development.
As a result, applied sports psychology covers a wide range of topics, from
psychological skills and ability training to dealing with "chocking under
pressure", group dynamic processes and leadership issues. These topics
are dealt with in various settings - individual support, team interventions,
workshops, further education, case discussions, diagnostics and training observations.
