Athletic success isn’t just about physical skill – mental strength is just as important. On this “Mental Breakthrough,” host Patricia Wu is joined by guest therapist Charles Walker. They discuss how sports psychology helps athletes optimize their performance, manage pressure, and build mental toughness.
The Mind-Body Connection
Just like physical training, mental skills need to be practiced. Sports psychology provides tools to build confidence, focus, and resilience.
Overcoming Injury
Injuries can be mentally devastating. Therapists can help athletes stay motivated, trust their bodies again, and transform the setback into an opportunity for growth.
Breaking the Stigma
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and therapists can provide a non-biased space for athletes to work through challenges.
