The athlete of today is stronger, faster, quicker, and more physically conditioned that at any time in the history of sports. What we know about physical training and conditioning, and nutrition continues to be applied at all levels of athletic competition at greater and greater frequencies. Therefore, more athletes are achieving physical peak performance than ever before.

In order to achieve an edge, the athlete of tomorrow will have to gain a mental edge to achieve success over equally physically developed and gifted opponents.

Because this is the case,performance psychology and mental conditioning are two of the fastest growing disciplines in the world. The ever-growing financial, mental and emotional pressures placed on athletes are demanding a more prominent role for sports and performance psychologists. Constant stress and expectations are placed on sports stars, coaches and organizations – leading to the current increase in sports psychology.
