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.
