Sport psychology and coaching refer to the use of psychological and coaching techniques to improve the sport performance of an athlete or team. Sport psychology focuses on the analysis and management of the psychological factors that affect performance, while coaching focuses on the development of the skills and strategies needed to improve competition.

Psychology and coaching are two tools used in the sporting world to improve the performance of athletes and coaches. Sport psychology focuses on the study of the psychological factors that influence sport performance, while coaching focuses on the coachability of individuals.

Sports psychology includes topics such as anxiety control, motivation, concentration, self-confidence and leadership, among others. Techniques and strategies to optimize sports performance are learned and different mental training methodologies are studied.

Sports coaching focuses on the development of communication and leadership skills to help coaches motivate and guide their athletes effectively.
