Elite Athlete Sport Psychology Plan
Track and Field – 2015
Objective – Deliver enhanced individualized sport psychology services to the SEC and
NCAA scorers. Teaching, developing and empowering them to apply cutting edge sport
psychology daily to enhance their ability to perform at their best on command.
Why? – Track and Field team placing is determined by combining individual
performances at the SEC and NCAA meets. Only athletes in the top 8 in their event score
for the team. On a roster of 120 a good team has roughly 15 – 25 score at the SEC meet.
NCAA meets have been won by teams that have as few as 5 athletes score. The fall has
been dedicated to enhancing the team culture as well as developing a common base of
knowledge related to high performance sport psychology. With SEC and NCAA
championships approaching next semester an enhanced focus on the top 10 – 20 % of our
team is necessary.
Who? – SEC scorers, NCAA scorers / qualifiers and those deemed by the coaching staff
to be at that level.
