About Esport Psychology

What is Esport Psychology?

Esport psychology is a branch of sport psychology that helps esports players, coaches, leaders, teams, and organizations enhance their performance and well-being.

Esport psychology applies psychological principles and techniques to optimize the mental aspects of esports, such as concentration, motivation, confidence, communication, stress management, and satisfaction.

Who is a sport psychology consultant?

Sport psychology is a diverse field with many titles (such as mental trainer, mental coach, performance coach, health coach, et cetera). Some titles are regulated in certain countries, but not in others. For example, in Sweden, anyone may claim one of these titles.

However, we recommend that you check a person’s education, regardless of the title. The Swedish Sports Confederation suggests that a sport psychology consultant should have a Bachelor’s degree in sport psychology, including practical training under supervision.

All AEP members meet these criteria. This ensures quality and ethics in our services. Lack of training can result in unethical or ineffective practices, which can hinder performance and damage mental health. That’s why it’s important to choose a qualified and experienced sport psychology consultant who can help you reach your full potential and enjoy your esports journey.

Is my gaming related issue clinical or not?

Gaming is fun and harmless for most people, but for some it can become problematic. Some issues related to gaming may require clinical psychology intervention. These include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and social phobia.

As sport psychology consultants, we can support gamers before they reach that point and help them prevent or overcome such issues. However, if you need to speak with a clinical psychologist, we recommend you to contact the Gaming project at Maria Malmö. Here, you will be received by specialists who focus on these clinical issues and can provide you with professional help (this service is only available for Swedish citizens living in Skåne, Scania).

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us. We are happy to answer them and help you achieve your esports goals.
