Sports psychology is a specific branch of psychology devoted to supporting the wellbeing and optimal performance of athletes. Sports psychology can help those participating in a wide range of settings, from amateur athletes participating in recreational sports to Olympians and other professional sportspeople. The field of sports psychology is not exclusively focused on mental health concerns; athletes can work with a sports psychologist at any point, and do not need to have a specific problem to benefit from sports psychology.
Sports psychologists provide support on an array of issues, including support for peak performance, assistance in developing stress management skills, support during times of transition or injury, and mental health assistance for those experiencing conditions such as eating disorders or substance abuse. Some providers also focus on working with groups on team building for success.
