"Dr. Monteleone has spent several softball seasons
with our team at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. With
his guidance we have been able to decrease performance anxiety,
redirect our goal setting process for both individual players and
the team. The coaching staff has also benefited from Dr. Monteleone's
program by helping us establish better avenues for communication
and attaining full player potential."
-Aimee DeVos, UNCC Head Softball Coach

What is Sport Psychology?
Sport Psychology is the application of psychological principles
and techniques to assist athletes, coaches, and teams in developing
cognitive and physical skills enhancing athletic performance in
competitive situations. Sport psychologists teach athletes performance
enhancing skills, mental training techniques, how to overcome psychological
& performance difficulties, and assist with personal growth
& development. In this way, sport psychologists help athletes
increase their ability of achieving peak performances. For athletes
experiencing performance difficulties, sport psychology interventions,
with assistance from the coach, can help improve athletic performance
and resolve difficulties to get the athlete back to peak performance.
Sport psychology techniques can be used with individuals or small
groups.
What is a Sport Profile?
The Sport Profile is designed to measure attributes and abilities
that relate to successful performance as an athlete. The athlete
completes several assessments that identify personality traits and
psychological characteristics. The results are compiled into a brief
report that discusses the results specific to athletic competition
and the sport(s) played. Strengths and areas of improvement are
identified for the athlete, along with specific suggestions to help
improve mental and athletic performance. Dr. Monteleone and the
athlete review the results together to answer questions and to collaboratively
develop a plan to achieve your athletic performance goals. A Sport
Profile can be completed for most adolescent and adult athletes.
Athletes out of town will be provided feedback via phone consultation.
