On this episode of Sanity, Dr. Jason Duncan and Jared Cohen, M.A., M.B.A. dive into sport and performance psychology. Jared Cohen works as a mental performance coach for both individuals and teams, and he recently conducted a training with the Transportation Security Agency (TSA). He discusses the different components of performance psychology and provides information about how he intervenes to improve performance in our mental abilities. He shares the three areas he typically focuses on are self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-regulation. Jared Cohen links his practices in performance psychology to well-established psychological theories and evidence-based practices, including cognitive theory, attribution theory, perception theory, and “hardiness.” Numerous examples of intervention techniques and the benefits of changing our perspectives to enhance performance are provided. Tune in for a great episode on how psychological theories are applied to reduce mental blocks and improve performance!
