Every athlete has heard the cue: focus better. But for many athletes, trying harder to focus only creates more tension, overthinking, and pressure.
What if we did the opposite? This where my work comes in using evidence based concepts in ACT, performance psychology and EMDR therapy to support athlete emotional wellness, reduce mental tension, and improve empowering mental states.
Instead of forcing concentration, performance psychology can help athletes learn when to let go, trust training, and allow performance to happen naturally. One of the ways I support athletes with performance goals is by creating enough mental freedom for confidence, instinct, and flow to emerge.
