Sport psychology is the study of psychological principles as applied to the world of sport. Its popularity in Ireland is unsurprising, given recent international successes in rugby, golf, boxing, football, athletics and horse racing.
This course explores topics including: athletes’ mental skills and mental fitness, mental health and well-being, sport injury and retirement issues, the impact of team members and supporters on performance, along with the role of social media and technology developments within sport and performance settings. The course content is delivered through a stimulating programme of discussions, groupwork, practical exercises and personal reflections. High profile sport guest speakers also visit the course each year to share their experiences with our students.
