Sport Psychology Services for Professional Athletes


MNC has developed ProPsych to encourage athletes to be proactive about the integration of mental skills into their chosen sporting performance and career.

ProPsych is based around securing an annual service agreement between the athlete and MNC for psychological services. The primary purposes of ProPsych include:
1. Increased accessibility to services through increased priority,
2. Improved quality of mental skills work all year around, particularly for the national and international athletes,
3. Increased demand for attendance at competition to observe competition mental skills, &
4. Enhanced mental skills implementation via access to follow up and maintenance contact points.

The current document outlines the services included in four different priced contracts.
The types of services available to include:

Email contact/response
24-48 hour turnaround response from athlete contact time (i.e., once an athlete makes contact MNC will respond within 24-48 hours).

Phone contact/response
12-48 hour turnaround response from athlete contact time (i.e., once an athlete makes contact MNC will respond within 12-48 hours).
Individual consults
Face-to-face or phone or Skype: Organised set times for athletes to consult regarding their progress and specific/relevant mental skills training required for their performance.
Practical Session

The investment for each contract is set relative to the type of service included and is designed to meet a range of individual budgets and needs. There are examples of what each contract might include on the following page. It is also an option for athletes to alter the services included in any of these four contracts to better suit their needs, upon request. In addition, if athletes have a set budget that they need to work within, MNC can design an annual plan to suit their requirements. The aim is to get an annual contract determined at the beginning of each season or playing year so that there is a plan-of-attack for psychological services and mental skills training that is proactive throughout the training and competitive periods.
