I think sports psychology, what I'd like to think of it as now is both a combination of your regular, quote unquote, non-athletic life and your athletic life coming together. Your athlete life is a bunch of other things. I used to always say I am an athlete. Athletics is a part of my life. It is not my life.
Ever wondered what it takes to perform at your best on the world stage? This episode of 'Scope of Practice' dives into the fascinating world of sports psychology just in time for the Olympic Summer Games. Margaux Farrell, an Olympic Bronze Medalist, and Dr. Shane Murphy, a seasoned sports psychologist, join the conversation to share their unique perspectives on the mental side of athletic excellence.
Farrell, now Chief of Staff at the Root Center for Advanced Recovery, offers a firsthand look at how elite athletes prepare mentally for high-stakes competitions. Dr. Murphy, with his experience as a former sport psychologist for Team USA, adds depth to the discussion by exploring techniques like visualization and routine that help athletes stay focused and resilient. This episode isn't just for sports enthusiasts; it's a must-listen for anyone interested in how mental health intersects with peak performance.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply curious about the human side of elite sports, you'll find valuable insights and practical tips to apply in your own life.
