In addition to an ongoing series of articles and coaching resources, the Center’s staff works with teams and coaches to develop performance plans on goal setting, effective thinking habits, motivation, coach-athlete communication, imagery, emotional self-regulation, focus and concentration habits, leadership development, effective sport parenting, healthy team dynamics, etc.

Educational Presentations

Center for Performance Psychology Staff offer quarterly High School Sport Psychology Labs for parents, coaches, and athletes in San Diego County. Sport Psychology Labs are 3 hours long and cover topics appropriate for the athletic calendar, including “Motivation in the Off-Season,” “Making the most out of Pre-Season Practice,” “Big-Game Psychology,” and “Balancing Athletic and Academic Responsibilities.”

Individual and Team Consulting

The Staff of the Center for Performance Psychology has over 30 years of combined experience in Performance Enhancement programming with coaches, athletes, and parents from a vast variety of sports.

Although our pre-designed group programming is a great introduction to Performance Enhancement Training, we realize that all athletes, coaches, and teams are different, and that you may have more specific areas of concern. We are available to meet with you or your team to design and implement training programs for your specific areas of interest, including goal setting, effective thinking habits, motivation, coach-athlete communication, imagery, emotional self-regulation, focus and concentration habits, leadership development, effective sport parenting, healthy team dynamics, etc.
