The Relationship between Psychological Skills Training and Performance Outcomes

Psychological Skills Training (PST) refers to the use of evidence-based techniques that help individuals develop and enhance their psychological abilities to optimize performance in various domains such as sports, academics, and the workplace. There is strong evidence to suggest that PST can lead to significant improvements in performance outcomes. This is because PST techniques enable individuals to develop and improve key psychological skills such as goal-setting, imagery, relaxation, and self-talk, which are crucial for achieving optimal performance.
