• Resumen

  • The intersection of information technology (IT) and sports psychology has ushered in a transformative era for athlete development and performance optimization. This research study explores the multifaceted role of IT in reshaping the landscape of sports psychology, highlighting its impact on athletes, coaches, and sports psychologists. Beginning with an overview of the historical context of sports psychology, we trace its evolution from traditional methods to data-driven, technologically advanced approaches. We delve into key aspects of IT's role, including data collection and analysis through wearable devices and data analytics, remote counseling and support facilitated by telehealth solutions, cognitive training, and biofeedback using virtual reality and augmented reality, performance analysis and feedback enabled by video analysis software and performance dashboards, and the proliferation of mental health apps and online resources for independent mental skill practice. Communication and collaboration among athletes, coaches, and sports psychologists are vital components of this technological transformation. However, ethical considerations regarding data privacy, cybersecurity, and responsible technology use are also addressed to protection athlete integrity and well-being. As the field continues to evolve, sport psychologists are encouraged to explore emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and biometric sensors to refine mental training and performance optimization strategies further. The research study concludes by highlighting the promising future where the synergy between human psychology and cutting-edge technology reshapes the boundaries of athletic achievement, ensuring that athletes have the mental resilience and support required to reach new heights in the digital age.
