A conceptual model for mental health and performance of North American athletes: A mixed methods study
The demands of sport create psychological and physical challenges for athletes, making it essential to understand what factors contribute to mental health and performance optimization in sport. The purpose of this mixed-methods investigation was to develop a conceptual model for mental health and performance of North American athletes.
Mental Health and Developmental Needs of Youth Athletes: A Mixed Methods Study
Despite the prevalence and benefits of extracurricular involvement in sports for youth, few scholars have conceptualized youth mental health and development within the context of sport environments. The aim of this investigation was to create a visual framework of actions, thoughts, and feelings that promote mental health and development for youth athletes.
White Papers
Culture by Design, Not by Default
This paper outlines Premier Sport Psychology’s CORE Culture Design framework, which emphasizes shifting from incidental or “default” culture to a “culture by design.” This approach incorporates strategic planning, clear organizational structure, defined processes, and careful recruitment to build an environment designed for resilience, cohesion, and sustainable success.
Cold Plunging and Focus
Cold plunging offers more than physical recovery; it provides an opportunity to build mental endurance, focus, and resilience. By training intentional attention (i.e., focus) under controlled stress conditions, we believe athletes can transfer these skills to high-stakes performance environments.
How Mental Wellness Drives Performance
Wellness and performance aren’t opposing forces, they’re interdependent. When leaders actively model and support reflection, recovery, intentionality, and growth, they create an environment where people thrive, and where performance becomes the natural result of wellbeing. In this paper we highlight five domains that underlie the success of employees, and highlight behaviors and characteristics employers should be aware of to ensure their employees are in a position to thrive.
