Sports Psychology & Dynamics Course

Sports Psychology is the study of how psychology influences sports, athletic performance, exercise and physical activity. Some sports psychologists work with professional athletes and coaches to improve performance and increase motivation. Other professionals utilize exercise and sports to enhance people’s lives and well-being throughout the entire lifespan. This course is suitable for both “sports people” and those who wish to work as “sports counsellors”.

The Sports Psychology & Dynamics course provides an in-depth introduction to the theory behind mind power and sport, incorporating many demonstrated and effective principles, including self-motivation, positive belief strategies, developing the ‘winner’ attitude, stress control, visualization and effective strategies. The purpose of this course is to break concepts into practical, direct-action and personal improvement programmes to greatly enhance an athlete’s performance in their chosen field. Course lessons are set out in a logical and comprehensive manner so students can integrate methods and build upon these concepts in the workplace.
