Enhance Your Mental Game with Personalized Sports Therapy
Mary’s Sports Therapy Services are designed specifically for athletes who face the unique mental and emotional challenges that come with training and competition. Her holistic and compassionate approach helps athletes manage stress, overcome mental barriers, and unlock their full potential.
Key Services Include:
Anxiety Management
Mary helps athletes recognize and cope with pre-race nerves, fear of failure, and self-doubt. Through relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness, athletes learn to calm their minds and stay focused under pressure.
Mental Conditioning
Using visualization exercises and mental rehearsal, Mary helps athletes imagine successful performances, enhancing their confidence, focus, and sense of calm when competing. These tools are invaluable for building mental resilience in high-stakes situations.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mary applies CBT techniques to challenge and reframe negative or irrational thoughts that can undermine performance. By replacing these with positive affirmations and constructive mental strategies, athletes develop a healthier mindset that promotes success.
Stress Management
Mary teaches athletes effective time management and stress-reduction techniques to handle the pressures and expectations of competition. This ensures mental burnout is avoided and athletes can maintain their love for their sport.
Goal Setting and Focus
