5 Myths of Sport and Performance Psychology Debunked

Myth #1: "Mental training is only for athletes with problems."

Fact:  85% of elite athletes use mental skills training. The best performers use psychology as a competitive advantage, not just as a fix for issues.



Myth #2: "Visualization is just daydreaming."

Fact: Proper visualization activates the same neural pathways as physical practice and has been shown to improve performance by up to 23% when combined with physical training.



Myth #3: "You need to be 'mentally tough' to push through pain."

Fact: True mental toughness includes knowing when to rest and recover. Strategic recovery improves performance and prevents burnout.



Myth #4: "Nerves hurt performance."

Fact: Every performer has their own optimal zone of functioning when it comes to somatic and emotional feelings. If channeled in the right way, nerves can be utilized to improve performance. 



Myth #5: "Sport psychology is only about positive thinking."

Fact: Effective mental training includes realistic assessment, strategic planning, and specific skill development—not just positive affirmations.
