Innovations in mental skills training for young athletes
The accumulating research supports MST programs as an indispensable and meaningful investment among young athletes. Sport psychologists commonly report using mental skills in their work with young athletes and adapt as best they can to their varying needs. While psychological skills relate to skills of the mind, psychological characteristics relate to qualities of the mind. Both psychological skills and psychological characteristics can be strengthened through systematic development and training, but the relationship with the sport psychologist is the foundation for this development.
