In terms of managing expectations, it is important to understand that as a company we will not be conducting 1-1 behaviour change interventions as we are not HCPC registered Sport Psychologists. Using knowledge from a Master of Science in Sport Psychology degree (BPS accredited with Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership) the company will take an educational approach to educate individuals on appropriate techniques that can potentially cause behaviour changes (e.g., appropriate goal setting, building confidence, preparing for competitions etc). There are different ways in which we can educate, for example through workshops. We can also talk with individuals 1 on 1 educating them on a specific topic that is believed to be helpful to their performance.
