Colorado State University Pueblo Athletics Mental Performance & Well-Being
The creation of Mental Performance services for student-athletes is a new initiative starting in the Fall of 2024. The goal is to help enhance the quality of athletic experiences and well-being for student-athletes as they traverse the rigors of college athletics. Understand that conversations and work done together is
NOT clinical mental health counseling, and providers that exist on campus will continue to provide support in these areas.
Mental Performance Consulting:
- 1:1 conversation oriented in Sport and Performance Psychology with modalities related to enhancing student-athlete challenges including (but not limited to):
- Motivation
- Fear of Failure
- Confidence
- Focus
- Resiliency
- Handling Pressure
- Negative Self Talk
- Managing Intensity
- Optimism
- Perfectionism
- Goal in observing practices and competitions throughout year is to gain general sense of how teams operate and compete. The more I understand about your sport, and how athletes operate within them, the better I can support you and our dialogue.
- Not just for “problems” that student-athletes may have. Can be utilized to boost/increase areas of opportunity where student-athletes seek to improve.
- Related to holistic student-athlete development through enhancing the mental side of sport performance.
- Conversations kept confidential. Note limitations to confidentiality when related to potential harm of self, others, or property. Additional limitations to confidentiality as it relates to State of Colorado law and University policies as designated by institutional conduct handbooks.
- Clinical mental health concerns will be referred to available clinicians on campus. Conversations about the referral process will take place in conjunction with referrals being made.
- Efforts made to enhance the student-athlete triad of academics, athletics, and community service. I am here to support your development!
