| Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Applying psychology to sport enhances performance by improving mental acuity. This sharpening of the mind requires skills such as focus, memory, concentration, and understanding. Consequently, the discipline of sport psychology incorporates many of the areas within the field, such as cognitive psychology (goal-setting theory and strategic race/game planning), social psychology (team-building and leadership development), biological psychology (anxiety/arousal control and stress response), developmental psychology (skill acquisition and mindset development), and abnormal psychology (depressed mood due to injury/playing time and addiction education and awareness). Students in this major will take a blend of courses both in the psychology and sport studies departments. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
We require official grades from all institutions in which you have enrolled or are currently enrolled. This includes both high school and college. If a transcript includes grades from past institutions, those institutions do not need to send a separate transcript. |
