Finding a Reputable Performance Professional for Youth Sports
When looking for a reputable performance professional for youth sports, it is important to differentiate between clinical and applied professionals. Clinical professionals may not have specific sports training but focus on individual psychological issues. On the other hand, the applied side includes certified mental performance consultants, which can be found through the Association for Applied Sports Psychology. While certification adds credibility, building a relationship is crucial when selecting a professional, emphasizing that proximity should not be the sole determining factor.
