Honestly i thought this man is Thibaut Coutoir😂

Gave up a lot of sports or even esports since I was young because of this when I am confident that I can be best at it, I noticed I have a performance anxiety when it is just exhibition or just something is at stake

Jarrod thanks for directing me to this video, really enjoyed learning more and will check out the resources you recommended

Could you give some examples of intrinsic motivation of an athlete please?

Gave up golf, couldn’t perform in tournaments too much anxiety and practice rounds lights out

Yes, for sure, I am a true believe of it. Great video, thank you for sharing.

A 10 year old video has helped me. I’m not an athlete but I was a waiter for 38 years at a really high intensity environment. Waiting to have back surgery. Looking for any type of motivation. This has provided me with a lot of information in a short video.

Hi Currently doing my bachelors in Bsc Exercise and Sports science and im thinking to do my Masters in Msc sports Pyschology , im very intrested in psychology subject as i have a great playing experience in Taekwondo sports so i know the mind set of athelete , i m just looking for more gudience for myself like what would be best for me

Looking for the consultant route, applying for grad schools (Masters) in the next 2 months any ideas for schools that have good programs?

I am a recreational tennis player and latelty I have been training everyday and I loved the process. The only peoblem was I was too tense on court and therefore tiring myself needlesly and could not relax.. Last week I broke my ankle on court and suddenly all my training plans came to a halt. I had ankle sırgery and I will not be able to play for another 8 weeks, at least.. I still can't believe this. On the bright side, this sudden change helped me see things differently and loosen in my approach mentally. I totally see my injury on the positive side now. I was tensing more and more everyday and pushing harder, which did not help. But when everything stopped out of my control, I finally let go of the tense approach. Sometimes the solution is a broken ankle :)

I broke my hand back in march 2022 in speed skating.but I got back in sport as soon as I was okay but then last night I broke it again same spot! Same injury worse than before.😔idk what to do now.

I failed while doing one kick so badly I fell on my face got bloody mouth bitten lip and almost probably breaking my last two fingers on my hand that I mostly do tricking on and I n off like 3 weeks probably and I feel like completely shit becuse I can't do nothing and sit back home everyday but I know that when I m read I m gonna be more careful and not do somthing that I don't know how to do and just send it and I know I will come back stronger

I heard you talk about doing psychobiology. Does that field go into things like why the body may be more tense during stress, or more focused when relaxed? If that makes sense? I played basketball in highschool and I noticed the more comfortable I was the better I played. the more anxious I became or let’s say forceful; I would play worse. Being comfortable the game seemed to flow more and I just reacted. When I was forceful or uncomfortable the game seemed impossible. In your opinion if I wanted to go into the research or something like this should I go the path I’m on right now and major in psychology or psychobiology? I would appreciate your feed back, thanks!

Thanks for the info! I have a few questions. Currently in a PsyD program in clinical psychology. The program does not have a sports psychology track. It does have a health psychology track, however. Would you recommend I take this track? Would practicums in health psychology qualify me for sports psych internships? Finally, whether I land an internship in sports psych or not, would you recommend I get a masters in sports psych after I get my PsyD? Thanks in advance!

Too short.

I’ll see you this I put a lot of different sports I wasn’t a big football guy but I played a tremendous amount of hockey high school college and play juniors up north and I think hockey players have a dismissive attitude about taking injury seriously to the point that in some cases it’s beneficial but in other cases it may lead to re-injuring that same body part or never making a full come back but I think if you interviewed a hockey player about a serious injury they never really dwelled upon it the first thought was when can I go back and play even moments after they’ve been injured you wonder how long will it take to heal

I never really had the opportunity to think too much about my injury it was never really overly discussed some of my injuries were significant but it was never a conversation about being Richard was always a conversation about getting back in playing so the focus was always about getting back to playing because you don’t wanna get caught you don’t want to be left off the team if you’re going into some kind of playoffs you don’t wanna be the guy who doesn’t get a chance to get his name on the trophy or to get a trophy

Tore my lateral meniscus (cartilage) in my right knee on the second day of the new year 2022 in a motocross race. Haven’t had surgery because I can still walk and work and ride I just have to be cautious. And it pops often. But so does my good knee. But yes the injury gives time to think and plan for the comeback. Mind over matter

Thanks

I sucked my nuts up in a vacuum hose one time and it was a major setback Now I do it once every morning and twice in the evening

Which university is best for sport phycology in Australia for international students

Fractured 3 bones in my ankle and displaced my growth plate during football practice, I’ve just been worried that I’ll freak out in the middle of a play

Just broke my fibula in during a wrestling match ,this definitely helped.

Every setback is actually set up for a comeback..... well said I'm definitely using that statement to heal my lower back pain I'm suffering from.

I needed this! Few months ago I significantly sprain my lower lumbar muscle and the pain is sticking around. I started PT recently, and everytime I try to return to the gym, my back muscles are tight for days! Any tips? Im trying to not obsess about it and be patient.

Romans 10:9, NIV: "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.💖💖💖

Are you there yesokdagther

I’m trying to figure out pursuit sport psych or PT I love the idea of both Would it be realistic to be both? Which one has an average high salary as personal experience I value finance highly

Very helpful video! Thank you very much!

What a great, interesting and insightful video. I thank you massively for aiding my growth along this journey we call life. ❤️

Thanks great vid man

This changed me

Thank you for this video. My daughter is an elite athlete and is currently interested in sports psychology as an athlete and also as a career in the future. You did a great job breaking down the different paths. Any suggestions on books or programs I can get her started on? She is 13. Thanks again.

could you explain this in more depth please?

Much love thx ❤️

This video is invaluable

Thank you, Dr. Spencer for this video. I am currently finishing my MS in mental health counseling and am working within a hospital setting for my internship. During my journey through graduate school I have found out that I have a holistic perspective to counseling. I believe fully in the mind and body working as one. This is why I have also found so much interest in health/ performance psych. I started to notice this interest come out in some of my papers, which were honestly the most fun that i've had writing. The area that I started focusing on is endurance athletes, specifically I wrote about the female athlete triad. As I enter into my last semester I am starting to think about the next steps I would like to take and I believe that working with an athlete population is part of this path. Again I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video, it has given me a lot to think about.

im all about this shit. Im want to start a podcast on this topic. would anybody be interested in joining me in a conversation on sports psychology

All great information! Thank you! And, I heard you say you're in Bethlehem, PA! I grew up in Lansdale... not too far from you! I'm just at the beginning of my sports psych journey, and I'm really excited! I hope we cross paths one day!
