Athletic Organizations

Assessing physical talent is fairly easy for coaches and scouts. They can watch an athlete in action, conduct various physical endurance tests, or review a player's stats, whether in the form of number of goals, touchdowns, or medals. However, as every coach, scout, and athlete knows, competing in sports is as much a psychological endeavor as it is a physical one. The greatest athletic talent and skill will have little impact if a person suffers from a lack of confidence, a poor work ethic, or concentration difficulties.

Psychological assessments can offer insight into an athlete's mind and allow coaches and scouts to:

• Pinpoint mental blocks that can hold an athlete back from reaching his or her full potential
• Understand an athlete's strengths and focus training on areas that require further development
• Assess personality traits that are shown in sports psychology research to have an impact on performance, like mental toughness, competitiveness, and focus
