Back on the dirt...
Have any of you use a sports psychologist for your DD? What is a good age to start looking in to this? I’ve been researching it a little and can see the positives even outside of sports so just wanted to get some opinions from the board.


Edited to add: I’ve heard about them quite a bit during the Olympics and I have seen some other articles as well on elite athletes. DD has a pretty strong drive but was thinking about if she could improve it.

Thanks in advance

My ex is a psychologist. I dont think she could help anyone.... but that’s another forum.

I think a sports psychologist is more about helping them have a winning mentality and to help them get through some personal game challenges. I agree that is what good coaches do. (Notice I say Good coaches and not necessarily just winning coaches..)

Thanks for the thoughts
