Course Overview

Youll examine the key psychological factors that affect both sports performance and exercise participation and learn how to assess client needs and formulate tailored programs for them. In your sport specialization, youll learn techniques and strategies to help athletes of all levels, ages, and genders develop the mental skills needed to tackle inhibitions and achieve peak performance, as well as to overcome the emotional consequences of serious injury or prolonged loss of form. These mental skills are equally applicable to coaches wanting to build positive team dynamics and referees dealing with the stresses of the job. In your exercise specialization, youll focus on applying psychology to increase exercise participation and motivational levels among the public and to encourage people to adopt more active lifestyles.
