The document discusses the role and use of sports psychologists. Sports psychology studies how an athlete's mind affects performance and vice versa. Sports psychologists aim to help athletes overcome pressures, improve performance, and increase enjoyment through techniques like mental imagery, goal setting, concentration skills, and relaxation. They teach athletes to focus on the task, center themselves, and use positive self-talk to stay in control and confident. For example, a gymnast struggling with a vault could benefit from imagery, concentration, self-talk, and goal setting taught by a sports psychologist to help her successfully learn the skill.
