PST (psychological skills training)

Psychological Skills Training (PST) involves systematically developing mental abilities such as focus, confidence, stress management, and motivation to improve athletic or performance outcomes. It includes techniques like goal setting, visualization, relaxation, and self-talk to enhance concentration, emotional control, and resilience under pressure. PST helps individuals mentally prepare, stay motivated, and perform consistently by strengthening their psychological toolkit, much like physical training enhances athletic performance. It is tailored to each person’s needs and goals, fostering mental readiness and positive mindset, which are critical components for success in sports, work, or other high-pressure situations.
