Sport psychology - understanding the athlete's mind.

No champion athlete or sports team gets to be a champion these days without a healthy dose of sport psychology included in their training program. Sport psychology is a well established and constantly growing field, and one that brings great value to athletes of all levels.

The key to good sport psychology is understanding athletes' mindset, and building holistic training programs that will bring out athletes' best performances.

Sports profiling reveals the 'inner athlete'

Sports profiling is a very useful tool to assist with sport psychology. Athlete Assessments has developed two unique sports profiling tools that can be used by individual athletes, teams, coaches and sport psychologists.

Our two sports profiling products, one for athletes and one for coaches, are invaluable tools for revealing each participant's unique 'sporting personality'.

Developed by four-time Olympian and multi-medal winning athlete Bo Hanson, Athlete Assessments' sports profiling products deliver detailed insight and analysis into what makes athletes, and coaches, 'tick'.

After completing an easy online survey, each participant and/or coach receives a comprehensive report that covers factors such as:
– communication styles
– coaching styles
– effective training environments
– motivation
– mental barriers/limitations
– mental strengths
– areas for improvement
– managing team dynamics
plus much more

A sport psychology tool you need

Sports profiling does not replace or replicate good sport psychology. It is however an extremely valuable tool for using alongside or as part of a sport psychology program. Our sports profiling systems are extremely easy to use, affordable and completely online. Athletes, coaches and sport psychologists can also draw in additional useful features, such as gaining a '360 degree' perspective from other people.
