The scientific study of mental factors that affect an individual's athletic performance
or physical activity can be known as applied sports psychology. Applied sports
psychology, according to Williams and Krane (2015), uses theories and other types
of interventions to help athletes improve their performance and personal growth.




Sports psychology can be applied in the following situations:


• Supporting coaches and athletes in identifying goals and determining how to attain
them. Improving a runner's time on the track, for example.


• Supporting athletes in a good way to cope with stress and worry.
