Pediatric Sports Psychology

Pediatric Sports Psychology focuses on the mental and emotional aspects of young athletes' performance and well-being. It combines principles of psychology with sports medicine to help children develop a positive mindset, build confidence, cope with stress, and overcome challenges in sports. Specialists in this field work with young athletes, coaches, and parents to enhance motivation, set realistic goals, and foster resilience. By addressing both the psychological and physical components of sport, pediatric sports psychology aims to support children in enjoying sports while minimizing the risk of burnout and mental health issues.
