Description

This session explores the science and practice of coaching for high performance across both athletic and organizational arenas. Drawing on principles from mental performance coaching, the conversation will examine how psychologists can help individuals cultivate focus, resilience, emotional regulation, and deliberate practice habits—skills equally vital for elite athletes and business leaders navigating high stakes, high pressure environments. Drs. Berman, Moret, and Shanbhag, together with a guest expert, will highlight how evidence based psychological strategies can be adapted ethically to strengthen performance mindset, optimize recovery, and support sustained excellence within demanding performance cultures.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Explain some of the differences in coaching roles.

  • Identify at least one ethical and one legal consideration when delivering high-performance coaching services.

  • Describe two key psychological factors that contribute to high performance across both athletic and business leadership contexts.

  • Identify evidence based coaching strategies that enhance performance under pressure to support sustained high level execution in sport and organizational settings

Educational Goal

Content focuses on topics related to psychological practice, education, or research other than application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that are supported by contemporary scholarship grounded in established research procedures.
