How Sport Psychology Can Help Your Organization:

R

Evaluate & Educate

As consultants, we will assess, evaluate, and educate your organization on how to best implement sport psychology. Throughout this process, we will tailor our service to the specific needs of your organization and create a custom blueprint your organization can begin to implement immediately.

 

R

Cultivate

We work with organizations to help them establish their values and cultivate their team culture. This lays the foundation for strong team cohesion, a unified effort toward a common goal, and commitment to the team over the individual athlete. Then we work together to develop and implement standards for measuring accountability. Bringing all of these elements together reduces internal conflict and improves overall team dynamics. 

R

Dominate

Building a strong foundation leads to a consistently solid performance. That’s why, along with helping organizations set up their sport psychology services and establishing team culture and cohesion, we help athletes master their mindset through performance-based mental skills and strategies. These skills are critical to elite-level performances and are transferable to everyday life, which means your athletes will consistently win in and out of sport.

A Message from Tim

As an elite athlete you have already had some success in your career. But like most elite athletes, you probably still have bigger goals you are trying to reach. Maybe that’s holding up that championship trophy, becoming a scholarship athlete, competing for Olympic medals, or even signing a life-changing professional contract.

Unfortunately, many elite athletes run into obstacles along the way. Perhaps you are in great physical shape but your mental game is struggling. You may be experiencing mental blocks, performance anxiety, issues with perfectionism, or you are afraid to make mistakes.

Maybe your obstacle is a past injury or a recent surgery. Many injured athletes spend a lot of time worrying about the future and getting back to the athlete they were before they got hurt. These situations involve a lot of uncertainty; most elite athletes naturally don’t like uncertainty.

We know how disappointing it is to train for months on end only to come up short. We’ve been that athlete whose mental game gave us the edge one day and was our worst enemy the next.

White House Sport Psychology is dedicated to elite athletes who want to train their brain and build their mental game.

We are here to help you develop a performance mindset that helps you do things like, regain your mental edge, take your talents to the next level, and trust your body to stay healthy and hold up to months of training, practice, and competition.

Ultimately, competing in sport is both a physical and mental experience. But, the mind controls the body. Without a strong mind, your body can only do so much.

We are here to help you unlock your mental game so you can unleash your true athletic potential, overcome the obstacles that are in your way, and achieve your goals.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Have you ever worked with professional or Olympic level athletes?

      Yes, throughout the large majority of my 20+ year career I have worked in professional and D-1 sports and I have a very strong understanding of how athletic departments, organizations, and teams work on a day-to-day basis. I also understand the demands that an elite athlete faces as well as the challenges that come with making a living by playing your sport.

      What is typically included in team sessions?
      Team sessions can vary from establishing and building team culture and chemistry, to teaching and training mental skills and strategies, to working through team conflict. The exact nature of the session will be different based on the needs of the team.
      Do you work with full teams?
      Yes, in addition to working with individual athletes we support entire teams as they strive to build team culture and team chemistry, as well as the mental skills they can use to enhance their performance.
      If you are working with a full team, who pays for the sessions?
      There are many different ways for a team or organization to pay for team-wide sessions. Typically, the team covers the cost of the session via a larger team budget. However, this is not the only way to pay for team sessions and options can be explored.
      What sports do you work with?

      At WHSP we work with athletes competing in ALL sports including: 

      • Team sports (Football, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, Hockey, Softball, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Field Hockey, etc.)
      • Individual sports (Tennis, Golf, Gymnastics, Diving, Figure Skating, Swimming, Running/CC/T&F, Triathlon, Ski/Snowboard, Mixed Martial Arts, etc.)
      • Other sports (X-Games/Extreme sports, CrossFit Games, Equestrian, Climbing, Free Diving, Jockey/Horse racing, etc.)
      • We also work with adaptive athletes and teams competing in more traditional sports as well as sports specifically designed for their abilities.
      Are you able to help with mental health concerns such as mood disorders, personality disorders, and others?
      Yes, as a licensed psychologist I am trained to work with different mental health concerns that can be formally diagnosed such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, and more. In addition, I am able to help with day-to-day challenges such as family relationships, difficult coaches or teammates, overwhelming stress and more.
      How long are your sessions?
      The first appointment is typically 60-75 minutes long. Follow-up appointments are usually 45-50 minutes.

      The fulfillment of services with organizations may vary, and won’t necessarily follow the above structure.

      How often do you typically meet with clients?
      We usually meet with clients every 1-2 weeks. Every so often a client will need more frequent appointments (e.g. twice per week) or they will need to spread their appointments out over a longer period of time (e.g. once per month). We will talk about your needs and how often we should meet to care for your needs.
      Are you able to help an injured athlete?
      Yes, in fact, the mental side of injury, surgery, and long-term rehab is a specialty of mine. I combine my first career (sports medicine) with my current career (sport psychology) to help injured athletes improve their mind-body connection so that they can recover better, faster, and be more prepared to return to their sport.
      How do you help an athlete “get out of their head”, reduce mental errors, and improve their performance?
      We teach our clients many different mental skills and strategies they can use to help them find the optimal level of focus, attention, and energy when playing their sport. Every athlete is different and every situation is different so there isn’t a one-size fits all approach. Instead, we tailor the mental skills and strategies we teach our clients to fit their needs so that they have the tools they need to improve their performance regardless of the situation or circumstances.

      We are dedicated to elite athletes who want to enhance their mental game. We teach athletes how to develop and train their mindset so they can set themselves apart, maximize their performance, recover from injuries faster, and win more often.
