Abstract

Sports psychology is an interdisciplinary field of science that focuses on the mental processes and behaviours of athletes in order to optimise their performance. The field plays a critical role in addressing not only the physical abilities of athletes, but also psychological elements such as mental resilience, motivation, concentration, stress management and emotional balance, all of which have a significant impact on performance. The primary aim of sport psychology is to maximise the mental capacity of athletes, thereby enhancing both their physical and psychological performance to the highest level.
