Sport Psychology

Helping You Achieve Your Personal Best

Plan for Success

Mentally preparing for competition is key to sustaining sport success and enjoyment. Sport Psychologist, Dr. Greene uses the latest research findings to devise practical strategies for individual athletes, coaches, and teams. He brings an in-depth knowledge of the mental strategies of high-performing athletes to young competitors and seasoned professionals alike.

Although competitive athletes work tirelessly on fine-tuning their skills, timing, and coordination, many still need to improve their levels of self-awareness and resilience to realize their athletic dreams. Athletes seek out Dr. Greene for help creating a mental game plan that they come to see can be applied to life on and off the field.

Parents whose son or daughter needs help managing the pressures of today’s competitive sports world appreciate Dr. Greene’s combined expertise in sport and psychology. Dr. Greene’s ability to connect with the teenage and college athletes and provide a setting to speak confidentially about their lives and their sport makes Dr. Greene one of the most sought after sport psychologists in the country.

Our Approach

Dr. Greene uses a short-term consultation model that enables athletes and coaches to quickly master mental strategies that are immediately ready to be put into action. Characteristic of his approach is the close working relationship he develops with individual clients. This allows Dr. Greene to tailor his recommendations to each person’s unique performance level, learning style, and sport goals. Dr. Greene encourages his clients to view him as another coach whose advice targets how to maximize on-the-court performance by minimizing mental mistakes. Dr. Greene recognizes that each athlete has his/her own individual strengths and struggles, but quite commonly athletes/coaches consult with Dr. Greene when they feel weighed down by the pressure and expectations that come with increased success.

Dr. Greene uses consultations on the field, and audio/video technology to augment office meetings and bring strategy sessions to life.
