This one-month course is designed to provide sports coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists, sport managers, and sport psychologists with a deep understanding of the psychosocial factors influencing athletic performance. Rooted in Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, as well as sports coaching, the program offers an innovative framework for analysing and enhancing performance from a holistic perspective. Participants will explore both stable antecedents and dynamic factors affecting performance, enabling them to develop effective intervention strategies.
The course combines theory and practice, structured into two key modules. The first module delves into the theory of psychosocial performance using the PsychMapping model, analysing the impact of states, traits, and external influences on performance. The second module focuses on strategies for performance enhancement, covering both external performance support and self-regulation. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with practical tools to analyse performance from a psychosocial perspective, provide effective support to athletes, and foster self-regulation skills that contribute to long-term performance improvement.
