"Once I got over that I learned that I actually wanted to run and that it was my choice as to whether I did or not, no-one was making me do it. Understanding that and being given some skills to practice I don’t hate running anymore and that I know I can do it. What a breakthrough, I have now entered my first half marathon"

Do you need support for your sport or exercise performance?

At Melissa Coyle Sport Psychology I work to assist both individuals and teams in improving psychological concepts based on their specific needs,  which are relevant to  their overall training and competition performance.  

My clients range from national and international, professional, amatuer athletes to exercise clients, coaches and parents.  

Sport & exercise psychology is used by both athletes and exercise clients (of all abilities and age)  as a way to enhance both training and competition performance, just as you would improve strength and conditioning, or technical aspects of your performance.

Predominantly this is achieved by facilitating behaviour changes through increasing self awareness, cognitive based practice, and utilising psychological skills based training to gain even greater individual or team success.

Key psychological areas that are influenced by this practice
are:

• Increased confidence & motivation
• Decreased stress & negative anxiety
• Enhanced communication, concentration & controlled aggression
