Why Us
運動心理學技巧課程令我認識到不少有關運動心理學的理論及實踐方法，令我對提升運動員的表現多了一個新方向。 將來訓練運動員，除了固有的技術練習外，亦可以以有趣的方法去提升他們的專注力；喚醒手法更可有效地改善運動員比賽前焦慮不安的情緒。此外，自我對話更加是助己助人，令我對自己的運動表現更有信心。 此基礎課程確實令自己有興趣繼續尋求進階的運動心理學知識。唯一美中不足的是即使是基礎課程，但需要學習的東西實在太多，短短六小時不足以令我們接觸到太多實踐機會，如果可以增加課程時數的話，學員必會有更大得著。

Your course had a lot of theory with academic references but also good practical stuff. I learned many intervention methods and their reasons. It even helped me understand my own behavior in judo competitions. Thanks for your hard work and effort! Just completed the workshop on Foundational Sport Psychology in Technique. This workshop gave great value with lots of evidence-based info and academic references, plus scholar sharing. Thank for Owen's inspiring teaching — your passion for sports psychology really motivated me to promote grappling in Hong Kong.

We focus on teaching practical skills in the courses (70% is practical skills). Our teaching content is full of physical activity, to better help explain the theory. Our team members are creative, and published research on high-ranking journals.

We understand psychology could be somehow abstract. Thats is why we invented products including software and physical products. Tools such as Sport Psych 101, Project Revolution, EEG, VR/AR, EMG help you to undetstand how our brain and body works together.

To become our Advanced Sport & Mind, you need to attend 20 hours of lectures and complete 8 hours of internship & exam.
We provide job opportunities for Sport & Mind and Advanced Sport & Mind, including but not limited to teaching, supervision, and program design.
Instead of School-based learning, our course is full of practical work with a rigid, clear, and unique scientific framework developed by our founder, Owen Chan Hing Wan. You only need 8 hours to start your career with confidence. We not only keep publishing applied studies in top-ranking journals, but we have also developed our software and physical products to support Sport & Mind’s career.
We strongly recommend people who choose to study a sport psychology degree if they are really interested in pursuing a license in sport psychology (You may need 7 years or above to become a registered sport psychologist in the UK). The Mind Engineering could provide support (e.g., a reference letter) for all Advanced Sport & Mind Trainers.
The field of sports and exercise psychology is growing, and we are living in a sports-loving society, where the team and competitive sports are a big part of people’s lives. Not only does watching or participating in sports bring positive benefits to health and wellbeing, but it’s an important part of the national and global economy.
The sports industry contributes significantly in terms of spending and economic activity, and is currently worth £23.8 billion, providing over one million jobs in the UK.
However, in Asian Areas, Hong Kong for example, you get more exposure in the market, since no ones would spend such a amount of time and cannot see concreate result in the market. Unlike other mature profession like physio, to become sport psychologist, you need more skills (e.g., communication skills, research skills) more than finished the degree, and its not easy to promote sport psychology in media just the way physio does, because of the privacy and sensitive information issue. Overall, its a profession and worth to explore if you interested in sport science and psychology.
You can work in various fields, including business, military, healthcare, sport, exercise, performance, etc. To gain some placement experience, you MUST finish our Sport & Mind Trainer theory part first. Bear in mind, sport psychology or any psychology fields are totally different from other professions like physio, you cannot provide any intervention to people unless you finished all of your studies (so you understand the importance of counseling). Therefore, we would like you to equip yourself better before providing any services to clients.
