About this listen
In this powerful episode of The Sports Psychologist, Dr. Lennox Forrest, a seasoned clinical and sports psychologist, dives into the critical role of confidence and emotional regulation in young athletes. Using a compelling case study of a 15-year-old basketball and track phenom, Dr. Forrest explores how psychological skills—like positive self-talk, creative visualization, and playing against higher competition—can dramatically improve athletic performance and mental resilience.
Listeners will learn practical, research-backed techniques to develop mental toughness, boost motivation, and gain a competitive edge on and off the field. The episode also touches on how stress, anxiety, and pressure influence performance—especially in high-stakes games like the NBA Playoffs.
Whether you’re a parent, coach, athlete, or sports enthusiast, this episode offers deep insights into what separates good athletes from great ones.
