What is Sports Psychology? The branch of psychology which deals with the matters of understanding how the human mind influences performance, physical activity and exercise is known as sports psychology. Professionals who work with various athletes practicing this branch of psychology are known as sports psychologists. Sports psychologists usually work with various athletes to improve their performance and deal with victory and loss in the course of the athletes’ career. Sports psychology is also sometime used to understand the effect of medications on the athlete’s performance with respect to the functioning of the human mind. Sports psychology is not only used to improve an athlete’s performance and motivation but is also sometimes used to set guidelines for different sports especially with the legal and illegal medications. Sports psychology nowadays is being used to combat various other illnesses and affliction which are affecting the adult population. Obesity is the most important affliction that is being increasingly treated with the help of sports psychology. Using the various theories, methods and techniques of sports psychology most physicians are helping obesity patients combat their unnecessary and unhealthy fat deposits. History Of Sports Psychology Sports psychology is a relatively new branch of psychology in comparison to the other branches of psychology. Sports psychology began in 1920 when Carl Diem established the first laboratory dedicated to sports psychology in Deutsche Sporthochschule in Berlin, Germany. By 1925 two other laboratories dedicated to sports psychology were established. One of the sports psychology laboratories was established by A. Z. Puni in Leningrad at the Institute of Physical Culture and the other sports psychology laboratory was established at the University of Illinois by Coleman Griffith. The first course in sports psychology was offered by Coleman Griffith in 1923 and he went on to publish the first book in sports psychology, The Psychology of Coaching in 1926. However in 1932 due to severe lack of funds the sports psychology lab established by Coleman Griffith was shut down. With the lab shutting down and no specific means of research in sports psychology caused this branch of psychology to be neglected till the 1960s. In 1965 Ferruccio Antonelli established the first international society dedicated to the research and development of sports psychology. The International Society of Sport Psychology was formally established in 1965. The establishment of the international society led to the introduction of sports psychology as a formal field of study by many colleges and universities. The International Society of Sport Psychology released its first journal in 1970 called the International Journal of Sport. The release of the first journal was followed by the Journal of Sport Psychology being formally established in 1979. These developments allowed sports psychology to develop and flourish as an independent branch of psychology. By the 1980s sports psychology had sparked interest in most people and athletes were increasing employing sports psychologists to help them improve their performance and mental ability to cope with both loss and victory. Researchers by then had also started developing various mental and physical exercises within sports psychology to help athletes develop physical as well as mental strength. By the late 1980s sports psychology was being developed to help athletes as well as non-athletes improve their overall well being. Modern Sports Psychology Modern sports psychology is quite vast with independent branches within dedicated to sports medicine, exercises and mental ability. These branches are developed keeping in mind both athletes and non-athletes. Sports psychologists today are increasingly looking to improve the attention focusing skills as well as the motivation of athletes and non-athletes to help them achieve their goals. Sports psychology today is a well respected branch of psychology and also among the most revered branches of psychology developed to cultivate overall well being in individuals.
