The idea of sports psychology was first introduced to this country by Coleman Griffith at the University of Illinois in 1925, and the acknowledgement of sports psychology methods having a distinct positive effect on athletic performance has come a long way since that time. Today’s athletes value the mental approach to enhancing skills to increase overall performance.
