Many young athletes face challenges both inside and outside their sport:
Pressure to perform
Coping with injury or setbacks
Balancing school, social life, and training
Managing anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt
Play therapy provides a safe, developmentally appropriate way for children to express feelings, process experiences, and build coping strategies. Sports psychology adds goal-setting, focus, motivation, and resilience tools that translate into stronger performance — in sport, school, and life.
When combined, these approaches support the whole person — nurturing emotional well-being while building resilience and mental performance skills.
