Pocket Sport Psychology
Pocket Sport Psychology provides spoken key words and phrases on various sport psychology themes in less than 2 minutes to aid productive thinking and behaviour in a sport setting.
Each short track (less than two minutes) gives a brief relaxation session set to music, followed by specific key words and helpful phrases on a particular sport psychology theme to remind the athlete of useful thoughts and behaviours in a sporting setting. You can load any or all tracks to your iPod, mobile phone, PSP or mp3 player so you can hear what you need to prepare for your event at a time to suit you.
Each track covers a specific element of support:
- Anger
- Being a Champion
- Confidence
- Coping with Injury
- Fear
- Focus and Attention
- Poor Performance
- Positive Attitude
- Reaffirming My Goals
- Staying Power
- The Way to Success
Because the movie (track) is the length of a short music track, and is used on the athlete’s own equipment, the athlete may be discrete about using this sort of intervention – everyone else will believe they are just listening to music! This is an inexpensive resource suitable for every aspiring elite athlete, of any age. This data CD allows athletes to load .mp4 or .m4v movie files to a hand held device (like an iPod, iPhone, PSP, mobile phone or mp3 player) to use at a time and place that suits them best.
Additional Information
The CD must be loaded into a computer to manipulate the files to go onto the hand held device. For devices using iTunes, the .m4v files from the medium folder (for iPods) should be transferred to iTunes’ movie folder.
For an iPhone, .m4v files from the mobile folder ought to be transferred instead. Once on iTunes’ movie folder, connect iPod or iPhone and drag the files from iTune’s movie folder to device’s movie folder.
If customer has an iPod that doesn’t play movies, dragging the files from iTune’s movie folder to their device’s music folder will allow the music and spoken word to be heard.
For devices which do not use iTunes (eg PSPs, mobile phones, mp3 players), the files in the PSP folder will be used. Drag the .mp4 files from the PSP folder to either the Video folder (if the device plays movies) or Music folder (if the device does not play movies).
If the customer does not want to load the files to any device, clicking on the .m4v files (on a Mac) opens Quicktime, and clicking on the .mp4 (on a PC) opens Windows Media Player, and they can then be viewed on a computer.

Michelle Pain is a sport psychologist practitioner of 20+ years experience, based in Melbourne (Australia). She has worked with athletes in many different sports, and of different abilities. She has worked in the tertiary education sector (and developed the first coursework Masters degree in sport psychology in Australia at Monash University in 1991), and was responsible for introducing psychological testing at the AFL Draft Camp in 1997 (for the recruitment of 17 year old players to AFL Clubs).
Michelle has also worked for Tennis Australia with junior elite female tennis players in the Targeted Athlete Program, and has been unashamedly been honing this knowledge over many years on her own teenage son, an aspiring gymnast currently in an elite training program training 30 hours per week.
These experiences, together with the dearth of inexpensive resources designed for athletes to use in times when they feel the need is greatest, created the idea for Pocket Sport Psychology.
