Special issue ‘‘Sport Psychology’
This special issue, "Sport Psychology" delves into the depths of the human mind in sports and exercise, revealing how mental strength can be crucial for achieving top-notch athletic results. This call extends beyond works exploring the psychological aspects of successful athlete performances to those emphasizing the role of sports psychologists in shaping and optimizing athletes' mental framework.
Through the lens of sport psychology, we support research to discover how athletes manage pressure, overcome obstacles, and maintain focus in critical moments. Investigate the visualization techniques, stress control, and coping strategies that athletes employ to achieve peak performance. Furthermore, exploring how team dynamics, leadership, and communication impact athletic success should be investigated, highlighting the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
It is essential to delve into current research shedding light on the psychological aspects of sports training, motivation, and goal achievement. Submitted articles might enhance the understanding of modern technologies in analyzing and improving athletes' mental performances and examine how psychological training has become a pivotal component of sports strategy.
