Dr. Mike The Sport Psych

Even the most physically well-prepared athletes can find themselves struggling under pressure, overthinking, doubting themselves, and unable to perform at their best when it counts the most. That’s where Dr. Mike the Sport Psych can help. Sport Psychologist Dr. Mike Gross has spent more than a decade helping athletes at every level strengthen their mental game. <a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dr. Mike the Sport Psych’s new website</a> makes it easy to explore his services and get started today.
What You’ll Find on Dr. Mike’s New Website The informative new site brings all of Dr. Mike’s services together in one place, making it easy for athletes, parents, coaches, and organizations to find the right support for their goals:
<ul><li><a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/#athlete-mental-health" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Athlete Mental Health Counseling</a>: Personalized support for athletes navigating performance anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, burnout, fear of failure, difficulty refocusing after mistakes, and other challenges of competitive sport. </li><li><a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/#golf-psychology" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Golf Psychology and Mental Performance Coaching</a>: Specialized coaching that goes beyond the basics to help golfers address overthinking, negative self-talk, competition pressure, the yips, course management, and the mental barriers that separate practice from performance. </li><li><a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/#sport-performance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sport Performance Psychology</a>: Evidence-based sport performance psychology and mental training to help competitors at every level, from youth and college athletes to professionals and Olympians, perform their best in sports and life. </li><li><a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/#team-organizational" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Team and Organizational Consulting</a>: Customized consulting for athletic programs, coaching staffs, and performance-driven organizations across New Jersey and nationally, built around each group’s goals, culture, and environment. </li><li>Structured Mental Performance Programs: Dr. Mike’s signature programs, <a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/centered-swings/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Centered Swings</a>™ for golfers, <a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/centered-minds/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Centered Minds</a>™ for athletes and high performers, and <a href="https://www.drmikethesportpsych.com/centered-parents/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Centered Parents</a>™ for parents, offer a clear curriculum and built-in accountability for individuals ready to commit to mental training.</li></ul>
A Research-Based Approach Well-intentioned advice like “just relax” and “just believe in yourself” rarely helps in real-life competitive moments. Dr. Mike’s personalized, evidence-based approach is different and helps athletes build focus, confidence, and resilience that sustain under pressure. Grounded in contemporary research and drawing on mindfulness and acceptance-based principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), his process equips athletes with practical, lasting mental skills. Rather than pushing athletes to eliminate difficult thoughts or force themselves to think positively, he helps them learn to stay present, work with their emotions, compete with clarity and confidence, and thrive in their sport and beyond. Why Athletes Choose Dr. Mike With so many mental performance resources available, including books, podcasts, and online coaches, it can be hard to know where to turn. Dr. Mike sets himself apart with the depth of his training, the breadth of his experience, and the individualized care he provides to every athlete he works with.
As a Licensed psychologist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) specializing in both athlete mental health and mental performance, Dr. Mike is uniquely positioned to address both clinical mental health concerns and performance challenges. He works with competitors across a wide range of sports and levels, from youth and collegiate athletes to professionals and Olympians, including those in the PGA, NJPGA, AJGA, LPGA, NBA, MLB, NCAA, and the U.S. Olympics.
As Head of Sport Psychology Services at Princeton University, Dr. Mike oversees mental health care and mental skills training for more than 1,000 student-athletes competing across 38 Division I sports. He works with coaches, medical staff, and athletic administrators to support athlete performance and well-being.
Dr. Mike’s experience extends well beyond campus. He is listed in the U.S. Olympic Mental Health Registry and consults with organizations, including the NJSIAA and Runner’s World. He is a published author of academic articles and book chapters, and the former Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology.&nbsp;
Dr. Mike is known for his approachable, individualized style that helps athletes develop not just as competitors, but as people.
Get Started Today Whether you’re an athlete who wants to compete more consistently, a parent seeking support for your child, or a coach wanting to build a stronger team culture, Dr. Mike is here to help.

Gina's Tennis World will celebrate the grand opening of its third court on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 649 Springfield Avenue.
The addition comes with a new sign on Springfield Avenue that owner Gina Genovese hopes will finally put the longtime tennis club on the map for residents who may not have known it was there.
The grand opening will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Angie Devanney at 11 a.m. From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., guests can try out HEAD demo rackets against a ball machine and test their skills by hitting targets for prizes.
Throughout the event, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., guests can take photos with life-sized cutouts of tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. A raffle will give one lucky winner the chance to take a cutout home.
"After being in business for 43 years in Berkeley Heights, I am so excited to have the opportunity to have more kids and adults learning to love the game of tennis," Genovese said. "I still enjoy teaching even more than I did in 1983."
Tanvi Silvester, a former Gina's Tennis World player now in college, said the club's environment made all the difference in her experience learning the sport.
"I'd recommend Gina's Tennis World because it's such a friendly environment," Silvester said. "Starting a new sport can be intimidating at any age, and the environment you learn in plays a huge role in how much you end up loving the game. Gina, Wendy and the entire staff are so welcoming and kind. They make you want to come back and fall in love with tennis."
Julia Jarvis, a student and player at the club for 22 years, echoed that sentiment.
"Gina's Tennis World has always been community-focused, where everyone feels like family," Jarvis said. "It's not an ultra-competitive, toxic or intimidating culture, and it's a safe place to learn. This new chapter will let her share her gift with even more people, and I'm truly so excited for her and her world."
The grand opening is free and open to the public, with community members of all ages invited to celebrate the new court. For more information, visit <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ginastennisworld.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.ginastennisworld.com</a>.
About Gina's Tennis World Gina Genovese founded Gina's Tennis World in 1983 after coming off the women's professional tour, quickly attracting nationally ranked players — including, in one year, 12 boys who were ranked No. 1 on their high school teams. For more than four decades, she has taught players ages 5 to 80 at every skill level, working alongside fellow instructors Coach Wendy and Coach Phil for more than two decades. She is now teaching a second generation of students and says she can't wait to welcome a third.
