1. Why do I need a sports psychologist? I can read books, watch videos, and practice on the range (court, etc.).
2. Are you just going to tell me inspirational stories?
3. What can I “doâ€ in addition to learning to “listenâ€?
4. What do you need to know about me (i.e., my sports history)?
5. What’s this going to cost and for how long? (Covered by insurance?)

Just joking on No. 5. If you’re talking to a sports psychologist, then you already need one.

My favorite is No. 3 because whatever insights the psychologist imparts has to be connected to physical activity. I already know that I can be a scratch golfer (i.e., I already BELIEVE), but I’m not one because I cannot hit 500 balls a day. If I could hit them, then I would have the other “bookend.â€ Bookends always come in pairs, as without one, the books fall over.
Cheers,
