Sport psychology is one of the fastest growing fields within competitive sport. We have only recently begun to realize the importance as well as powerful benefits associated with understanding and mastering the mind. Unquestionably, the mental component of sport is invariably important. The difference between winning and losing often comes down to the mental toughness of the athlete.
Generally speaking, we live in a sport-loving society. Industry analyst Plunkett Research Ltd. estimates that the U.S. sports market generates $400 billion in revenue in a typical year ever from ticket sales for major league games to equipment sold in sporting goods stores.
According to Scott Goldman, PhD, director of clinical and sport psychology at the University of Arizona “Everyone is trying to figure out how to maximize talent” That means finding an edge that goes beyond being in top physical form. “We believe the field really is performance psychology,” says Mark Aoyagi, PhD, director of sport and performance psychology at the University of Denver. “This isn’t specific to sports, even though it developed from sports.”
Salaries for sports psychologists depend on the amount of education and training the professional has, as well as the clientele that psychologist attracts. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the average salary for psychologists, all other, including sports psychologists, is $88,400 per year in May 2013.Of course, sports psychologists who work with professional athletes will be among the highest paid.
