The framework behind our practice. Why we practice the way we do.
What guides me as a practitioner?
My ‘why' for being a Sport Psychologist is based on all the ‘why’ questions asked by athletes.
Why should I train for so long if I can’t perform when I want to?
Why am I unable to trust myself?
Why should I be the best?
Why do I need to get on with my coach?
Why do I get angry at my teammates and the umpires?
Why do I feel like this?
By helping athletes and teams answer these questions, I am able to give them the opportunity to achieve their dreams, inspire others, and be fulfilled in their careers.
Competition Philosophy
Something we likely all have in common, whether it be striving to win an event, match, or monopoly, is being competitive.
The term competition originally comes from the latin ‘competere’ which fundamentally means to ‘strive with’.
This means thinking of competition as ‘beating another’ is misleading, and instead we should work with our competition to reach our best. Using your desire to do better than the competition as a way of pushing your limits.
The true definition guides my practice and philosophy such that by working with those around us in the most optimal way, we can achieve our greatest.
The term officially refers to ‘the established set of values held by someone’. But this doesn’t mean our mind is set. Neuroscientists have learned that our brains are flexible and change over time. This is called neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity means our mindset can change, as can our level of control over our thoughts, feelings, and reactions. All of which have a profound effect on how we perform against our competition.
By tapping in, reflecting, and questioning ourselves, we can unlock the superpower of the mind.
