Telehealth Sport Psychology Services for athletes ages 18+ in North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin

Mental Performance Skills and Performance Anxiety

Dr. Hoff provides mental performance skills and mental health interventions to assist athletes ages 18+ with managing performance anxiety, remaining motivated, and preparing for practices and competitions. Athletes may say things like:

  • I don’t perform as well in games/competitions as I do in practices.

  • My performance in “big” games/competitions drops compared to regular games/competitions.

  • I have difficulty concentrating or frequently lose focus.

  • I have difficulty recovering from setbacks.

  • I wish my performances were more consistent.

  • I know what I want to accomplish, but I don’t know how to do that.

Injury Rehabilitation

Dr. Hoff provides mental performance skills and mental health interventions to assist athletes ages 18+ with coping with injuries, maintaining motivation and growth throughout the recovery progress, and transitioning back to sport. Athletes may say things like:

  • I don’t know how I am going to make it through the whole season without playing.

  • I don’t feel like I am part of the team.

  • I feel like I am stuck or plateaued in the recovery process.

  • This pain does not go away; I don’t think I am getting better.

  • I am worried I will get injured again.

  • What if I am not as good when I return? What if I lose my spot on the team

Sport Psychology Workshops

Teaching athletes about how their mind affects their body and skill control is equally important as training them physically. Dr. Hoff provides 30, 45, and 60 minute Telehealth workshops for high school and collegiate teams wanting specific, targeted information on topics such as:

  • Managing performance anxiety

  • Goal Setting

  • Effective self-talk/self-coaching

  • Mindfulness

  • Bouncing back after a setback

  • And more!

Dr. Hoff believes that each team is unique and thus, these workshops are designed to meet the needs of a specific team. To best identify and cater these presentations to a team’s needs, all presentations include a 30 minute consultation with a coach.

Additionally, Dr. Hoff provides workshops for athletic training staff/departments. Dr. Hoff will consult with you regarding your specific set-up and needs, and will create a workshop designed specifically for your staff. For more information, contact Dr. Hoff.

Services for Athletic Trainers

Sports Medicine professionals play a vital role in sport environments. They are often viewed as the “team behind the team,” and serve as the primary contact for athletes’ healthcare. This routine commitment to the health and well-being of others while navigating the sport culture can bring about unique challenges for athletic trainers. They may experience compassion fatigue/burnout, work-life balance concerns, and challenges navigating sport systems. Dr. Hoff provides telehealth therapy services that can fit your schedule/needs. To schedule with Dr. Hoff, please call Assessment and Therapy Associates of Grand Forks at 701-780-6821.
