Sports psychology is big business. Teams and athletes have used sports psychologists since 1890, but the field only became prominent after the formation of the International Society of Sport Psychology in 1965. These days, athletes and teams spend vast sums of money hiring the services of renowned sports psychologists because having a solid mental game is often seen as the difference between winning and losing, and professional sport is all about winning.
