Sports psychologist?

As funny as some of these comments are, they don’t really help.

I am an amateur sportsman. I do competitive table tennis, mountain biking and scrabble (not kidding).

My results in mountain biking and scrabble have been shocking recently (although I am showing some improvement in table tennis). I don’t think that it is my fitness on the bike or my word knowledge lacking on the scrabble board which is lacking as I’m training well for both. So it has to be something mental.

You have to be kidding!
Pedal harder and read the dictionary front to back.

How is a sport psychologist different from a normal psychologist? Serious question. If the issue is mental wouldn’t the normal ways of dealing with mental blockages be essentially the same thing just different application? Sure I can see elite athletes with tens of thousands of sponsors dollars paying a sport psychologist but outside the top elite level is that even that common to find someone specialise like that? Just curious.

You can’t handle the Q.

Perhaps read a page of the dictionary every day? (This is for the Scrabble problem.)

Seriously, this person may be helpful:

I have never used him though, even for my burrito fantasy in the gym problem.

You’re right. It’s definitely mental.

This might become best thread ever

I hope you aren’t a race walker. As the former Australian netball captain Liz Ellis once said: “It’s like a contest to see who can whisper the loudest”…
