CONT: Sport psychology is (a) the study of the psychological and mental factors that influence and are influenced by participation and performance in the sport, exercise, and physical activity, and (b) the application of the knowledge gained through this study to everyday settings. ... Sport psychologists are also involved in assisting coaches in working with athletes as well as helping improve athletes' motivation.
