Members of the 涩里番 Sport Psychology Laboratory believe our work is educational and that we can provide mental performance consulting to athletes, coaches, and/or teams.聽Whether in the classroom or on the sporting field, we teach people how to think and act in a way that promotes individual and team improvement. We can teach and facilitate the learning of mental skills that are essential to high level performance such as goal setting, concentration, dealing with adversity, mental imagery, mental preparation for practice and competition, and effective performance evaluation, to name a few.
