Athletes learn to motivate themselves in ways that they believe will improve performance, replacing self-doubt with positive thoughts. With proven results, the demand for sport-specific psychologists is greater than ever. **Degree overview** This degree combines contemporary and traditional areas of research and theory in sports psychology with the principles and skills of management within the football and sports industries. You will be introduced to the world of sports psychology, examining social and developmental aspects and explore the areas of cognitive and biological psychology in order to gain a better understanding of the psychological impacts on the brain and body. **Degree content** You will examine the psychology of optimum performance, covering theories that explain behaviour in sport and the skills involved to improve performance. Individuals’ attitudes, personalities and their impact on behaviour on and off the pitch are explored along with research into contemporary issues in sports psychology. The similarities of performance enhancement techniques employed in both the sport and business world will be examined, including motivation, decision making, leadership skills and team cohesion. **Teaching locations** UCFB Wembley • Wembley Stadium • Arch View House on First Way In addition to our teaching locations, we also use specialist facilities throughout the academic year as well as additional facilities where required. **Degree specifications** University Campus of Football Business is an embedded college of the University of East London.
