ABOUT
At the Sport Psychology Center, we are a group of over 20 psychologists and mental trainers who have a vision that all athletes will have access to mental training - in all sports, at all ages, at all levels and all over the country.
In 2010 we founded Sportdoc College and were the first in the country to teach Sport Psychology and certify mental trainers to work professionally with athletes. Since then, we have trained hundreds of people who now lead the field in sport psychology and work in a wide variety of sports.
COURSE Sport Psychology for Mental Trainers
We offer year long certification courses to people who are interested in working as mental trainers with athletes. The courses focus on the issues athletes face when competing in "real" time and the tools we give them to manage the stress. The course emphasizes the practical aspects of Sport Psychology and uses videos, case studies, simulations, guest speakers and activities within the lectures. Students have the option to do a practicum and get supervision on their work.
COURSE Sport as a therapeutic tool
Sport as a therapeutic tool is an emerging field today. By going with the strengths and passions of the child, sport becomes a vehicle to better cope with the stressors and conflicts of everyday life. The conventional and traditional therapeutic approach that takes place in a room has limited success with youth. Sport as a therapeutic tool provides a fun, and experiential way for youth to connect to the therapeutic process.
SPORT AS THERAPY
We work with children and youth who are having difficulties with limits, adjustment issues, social issues, or just coping with everyday pressures and fears. Our model is an alternative to traditional therapies and includes physical activity as well as providing a supportive relationship in a safe place with young and dynamic mental trainers.
