What is Sport Psychology?
By Dr. Jim Bauman//Special Contributor
 
Sport psychology is a profession that utilizes psychological theory, research, strategies and applied experience to move individuals toward capturing their highest athletic potentials (talent) by collaboratively working with the athlete, other support staff and coaches. That collaborative work results in increasingly higher levels of performance with a consistent ability to perform on demand – individually, as a team, in the pool, and out of the pool.
