Abstract

Collegiate sports provide a unique platform for athletes to showcase their skills and abilities. However, the pressure to perform at a high level can lead to mental stress and anxiety, which can affect an athlete’s performance. Sport psychology has become an increasingly applied practice by coaches to increase athletic success. Although sport psychology is becoming a more widespread practice with athletic teams, there is a lack of evidence-based surrounding the practice.
