In the past, athletes only trained to get physically fit. Today, professional sports psychologists use scientific techniques（技术）to help athletes get spiritually fit too.British player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played very well at the 2020 World Cup but after that he couldnt play well. He found that he had a terrible fear of failure. With the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending on how we look at it and then everything went better.In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team spirit. “Its very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily, ” said Professor Dave Collins, a sports psychologist.When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and dont blame individual players for mistakes. In this way ,they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a penalty kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method called visualization（可视化）. Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking a perfect penalty. When players do this, certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they are the same areas of the brain as when the player takes the real penalty.Today sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually fit and develop a winning mentality（必胜信念）. Having a winning mentality can really make a difference between winning and losing.56.
