Why We Value Sport Psychology - But Don't Fully Align...

---

At the Morris Center, sport psychology isn’t a separate service—it’s part of the training itself. Whether you’re a beginner learning to stand properly or an elite athlete breaking beyond limits, the mental side of performance is always present.

I’ve trained and worked in psychology—doing extensive doctoral-level study in two subfields, earning full tenure as a Psychology Professor, and engaging in decades of personal experiential work and research, seeking optimal performance, discipline, and mind-body integration. 

I’ve always appreciated the value psychology can offer—at times, great value. However, I do not affiliate myself with the field. The work I do is about real results, not academic categories.

The principles of discipline, mindset, and performance, ..., which sport psychology does address through its lenses, are naturally built into the training because they are part of what usually yields that extra help with training. 

So, whether in private elite training or beginner movement work, sport psychology isn’t something extra—it’s already baked into the process.
