Sport Psychology In Waterloo
Empowering Players to Succeed
Question:
Why Sport Psychology?
Psychology has long been a crucial factor in hockey. The way that athletes prepare themselves mentally has been proven to be a deciding factor in who wins it all, and who walks away with nothing.
The use of analytics doesn’t have nearly as long of a tradition in hockey, but its exponential growth in the new millennia has allowed organizations across the globe to change the way the game is played. Yet there is surprisingly little effort thus far to merge the worlds of psychology and analytics to give athletes and organizations the ultimate competitive advantage.
Maple Leaf Analytics seeks to change that.
Devoted to psychological testing and the use of crucial psychometric data, Maple Leaf Analytics is a growing start-up company committed to helping players succeed mentally on and off the ice, allowing athletes to push the boundaries of excellence and reach unprecedented levels of success.
