Studying sports psychology

A sports psychology degree will equip you with the tools to better understand the psychological side of sports performance and athletes’ mental health and wellbeing, with a view to optimising performance. It’s all about learning how professional sports players and athletes think. During the degree, you’ll cover areas like motivation, stress, confidence, pressure and anxiety to learn how sports performance can be both positively and negatively affected by internal and external factors, learning about different counselling techniques and research methods, as well as human anatomy and physiology. Graduates can work with athletes, teams and coaches as therapists and psychologists but can also look to become sports coaches, research specialists, physical therapists, sports rehab directors and lecturers, among other careers.
