How do sport psychologists help athletes?
Brad Foltz, PhD
Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health

Brad Foltz, PhD: I'd like to think that sport psychology serves a role similar to strength and conditioning or working with a coach. It's working on developing different skills that help enhance performance. Just as you go to a coach to learn a new tactical skill, you go to your strength coach to get physically stronger, working with a sport psychologist to help develop mental resilience and strength to help manage pressure situations, develop high-level confidence, and help you to be able to perform at your highest level when it matters most.
