Abstract | Most athletes, especially those at the highest levels of competition, recognize that their performances are influenced by psychological variables. Tiger Woods, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Phelps, Maria Sharapova, and Rafael Nadal have all used sport psychology techniques to enhance their own impressive performance levels. Applied sport psychology, however, is not necessarily about developing sporting titans or even about performance at all. It is, in the broadest sense, about using psychological principles, knowledge, strategies, and techniques to address any issue in sport. |
