You probably already understand that Sports Psychologists help athletes deal with stressful situations and perform their best under pressure, but Sports Psychology is actually much more than that. Better performance begins with overall wellness and Sports Psycholgists are specially trained to understand what athletes go through and help them deal with personal challenges both on and off the field. A Sports Psychologist may also work with athletes to help them develop strategies to train smarter, stay healthy, increase motivation, and enjoy participating in sports.

Mind Over Matter Performance practices a technique toward sports psychology counseling called SR Theory that was developed by our very own Dr. Earl Walker Jr.

SR stands for "Self Realization" and the approach takes a holistic view of each athlete's relationship to the world around him or her.

Succeeding in sports requires unusual amounts of motivation, perseverance, and committment. SR Theory believes that the best way to develop these qualities is through an athlete's belief system. We first must understand how an individual athlete sees him or herself in relation to the world around him or herself before we can truly understand that person's relationship to sport.
