Certification Helps Coaches Train Stronger, More
Focused Athletes of All Levels
(1888PressRelease) Since sports are just as much
mental as they are physical, more sports
psychologists are getting involved to help
athletes achieve peak performance. To that end,
The Spencer Institute offers an online Sports
Psychology Certification designed for anyone who
works closely with athletes. Whether they are
performed for leisure or competition, sports
aren't just speed and strength. Rather, a lot of
mental discipline and psychology goes into
racing, winning, losing and competing. Because
psychology is such an intrinsic part of sports
and fitness today, The Spencer Institute now
offers an online Sports Psychology Certification
Program for coaches and trainers. Sports
psychology is simply the scientific study of
people and their behaviors in sports as well as
the practical application of that study. Sport
psychology coaches help people of all abilities
increase their sports and fitness performance
while enhancing the overall enjoyment of physical
activity. Some coaches work with professional
athletes while others specialize in particular
disciplines, such as triathlons, kids fitness or
college coaching. The Spencer Institute's 100
percent online, self-paced training helps coaches
understand how psychological factors impact
clients' performance and how participation in
sports and fitness can influence psychological
development and overall well-being. In turn,
sports psychology coaches can help their athletes
increase performance by managing emotions,
expectations and outcomes. "This online
certification fits seamlessly into an existing
career or interest in sports, fitness, coaching
or psychology," said Dr. John Spencer Ellis, CEO
and president of The Spencer Institute and
creator of the Sports Psychology Certification
program. "When sports and psychology intersect
successfully, athletes of all ages, interests and
levels can enjoy greater success on the court or
field while their coaches can enjoy greater
satisfaction in their careers."
