 All Professional Sports Team Must Have Sports Psychologists  

 Recall your memory: the news said your star player got bad injury in the last match. The team doctor announced that it will take a long time for him to back to the stadium. What does he need for it? Good medical support is necessary and well-balanced diet will be required. But perhaps he need sports psychologist in the first place. When the player injured seriously, this could be grown to a trauma which will bother the player continously even after the recovery. To prevent this, I argue that every professional sports club should have the sports psychology experts.


 The sports psychogists helps the athelets in various fields. First of all, they helps players to enhance peroformance. Such as visualization, self-talk and relaxation techniques can help athelets overcome the hardships and achieve their full potential. Moreover, they help the athelets to cope with the pressure of competition. The sports is very competitive so the players are easy to be stressful. To reduce these kinds of stress, all sports team must have sport psychologist for their players. I have three supporting reasons for my argument.



 First, Sports psychology helps to players to show better performance. By encouraging self-esteem or confidence, it will leades to better outcome. In the case of 'Yu-Na Kim' the best figure skating player ever, said "Sports psychology helped me to show better performance. After I retire, I want to learn it." For minor players, sports psychology derive their potentials from them. For major players, sports psychology helps to lead their best physical stance.



 Second, Sports psychology can prevent and cure 'slump' which can ruin the players entirely. Slump ia time when someone so depressed that can't show thier ability well. Severe injury or bad performance could cause long slump. It is very hard to overcome player alone. In this point, Sports psychology help the athelets to defeat slumps. Such players like 'Chung-Yong Lee' former English Premeir League Player, interviewed when he got severe injury caused by heavy tackle, it was hard to get rid of the moment he got injured. In order to overcome the bad memory, he combined the rehabilitation with Sports psychology.




 Lastly, in the long run, Sports psychology will attribute to increasing income for the team. Sports psychologists encourage the players to play the game in better condition in that, the performance of team will be incresaing. Then, many fans will visit the stadium to cheer their stars up.


 In counclusion, I argue that all professional sports team must have sports psychologists for these following three reasons. Sports psychology will encourage the players to show better performance and it will prevent and cure slumps. Also, sports psychology will attract more people to the stadium so the team could earn more money.

The Introduction

 Many people in the world are enthusiastic about sports such as soccer, football, basketball and so on. The better performance that players show, more people go crazy about them. Behind their good performance, there is a special supports, called 'Sport psychology'. Sport psychology helps athelets to show better performance in better condition. When the athelet is experiencing slump, sport psychologist would help them by psychologic treatment. Indeed, many athelets experienced those kinds of treatment to get away from slump. Yun-A Kim, the best figure skater ever, commented "I got huge benefits from sport psychologic treatment. When I get retired, I want to learn sport psychology." Reflecting these benefits, many universities and academies are focusing this rising and promising study. In this point, I strongly beleive that all professional sports team must have sports psychologists in their team for their players.
