Sport psychology is the study of how psychological factors affect athletic performance and how participation in sport affects psychological and physical well-being, covering topics like motivation, focus, anxiety management, team dynamics, and mental resilience. Sport psychologists work with athletes, coaches, and teams at all levels, from youth sports to professional and Olympic competition, to help improve performance and cope with pressure, injury, or setbacks. The field blends clinical and counseling psychology with exercise science.
