Sports Psychology

At Atlantic Sports Health, we understand that achieving your athletic goals not only requires physical conditioning, but mental conditioning, as well. That’s why we offer consultations with licensed sports psychologists to help you improve your mental edge and achieve optimal levels of sports performance. This often begins with an assessment of your goals.

Common sports psychology goals for our patients include:

Coping with loss or injury
Decreasing performance anxiety
Improving confidence
Increasing focus and concentration
Learning playbooks and improving memory
Maintaining high levels of motivation
Minimizing outside distractions
Sleeping better

A sports psychologist will spend time with you discussing your athletic goals and developing a strategy to improve your mental skills and preparation.

Some techniques our sports psychologist uses include:

Breathing
Goal setting
Hypnotherapy
Imagery and visualization
Mental rehearsal
Mindfulness (being in the moment)
Mood monitors
Positive self-talk
Relaxation

Services are confidential. With your permission, your sports psychologist will work collaboratively with your other doctors to ensure a team approach in helping you achieve your performance goals.

Sports-related psychology services are available at both our Morristown and Sparta locations.
