Sports can be both exciting and demanding. Whether you’re a student athlete, a weekend warrior, or playing at an elite level, your mental game influences how well you perform. Sports psychology helps you build confidence, sharpen focus, and deal with stress. It’s about training your mind the same way you train your body.
Many of our therapists at Atascosa Counseling and Consultation Services have personal experience with sports. Some were athletes themselves, and one of our counselors is even a Coach. Our owner, Megan, is married to a coach and knows firsthand how the demands of sports can affect family life. We understand the challenges athletes face because we’ve been there.
Sports psychology looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect performance. By teaching mental skills, it helps athletes stay motivated, handle high-pressure situations, and overcome setbacks. We’ll work with you to develop strong habits and reach your personal goals.
