(KTIV) – There are many highs and lows of playing sports.
It can provide the opportunity for growth and development, but unfortunately for some, it can also bring struggles and difficult times.
That’s where CNOS Sport and Performance Psychology steps in.
This specialty service is overseen by Mental Performance Consultant Tracy Meis.
Meis focuses on the athlete’s mindset and coaches them to maybe one day return to the sport.
“I just really love the opportunity to help athletes find the joy in the process and also to realize their potential,” said Meis.
Meis said there are common psychological challenges that athletes face including low confidence and misguided focus.
“One challenge would be a sports injury. It can be really difficult to navigate the emotions of being sidelined or the fears of returning to play. Maybe focusing on past mistakes or future outcomes instead of being in the present moment,” said Meis.
