Organisation profile
The Center for Sports Psychology and mental counseling supports and coaches individual athletes, teams and sports organizations. Through mental training, mental skills are enhanced and improved so that they, together with technical, tactical and physical skills, can lead to optimal performance during matches. Mental skills include motivation, self-control, concentration, self-confidence, relationships and team skills, communication and lifestyle. Do you perform training better than during the matches? Are not you always optimally motivated? Do you sometimes lose confidence in important moments? Are you inhibited by match stress? Does your team not perform its possibilities? Do difficult interpersonal relationships do not make a good start? In those cases, Mental Care can provide support.
