Sports Psychology

Jack J. Lesyk, Ph.D., CC-AASP, Sport Psychologist

"What is learned in life can be applied to sport.”


When working with a client, I integrate clinical training and experience, with positive/performance psychology concepts, to develop an individualized approach for each performer/athlete or team request. I provide in-person appointments in my office located in Rochester Hills. Online appointments are available throughout the state of Michigan.

Services include:

  • Private individual performance or life adjustment counseling
  • Consultations for any designated parent or staff
  • Presentation topics include:
    • Improvement of mental performance skill sets (Mental Toughness)
    • Increasing self-awareness and motivation
    • Improving confidence and realistic goal setting
    • Understanding and managing arousal control and energy
    • Accepting and managing thoughts and emotions to positively recalibrate anxiety and perception of pressure
    • Improve intentional focus and concentration through acceptance, imagery, and positive self-talk
    • Improve team dynamics regarding culture, cohesion, and leadership
    • Improve underperformance (less choking!)
    • Increase positive habits and rehabilitation in relation to staleness/burnout, injury, or other setbacks

Delivery model:

  • Identify concerns utilizing clinical interviews and appropriate assessments
  • Formulate a plan targeting the client's concerns and goals
  • Teach and support the client's effort toward developing mental skill sets necessary for success

Examples of treatment goals:

  • Elevate performance through attitude, motivation, and an accepting mindset 
  • Improve self-awareness and communication skills related to performance
  • Increase enjoyment in one’s experience in their sport or occupation
  • Learn to embrace and manage emotional experiences during competition
  • Understand your preparatory skills needed for optimal performance
  • Become a great teammate thus fueling confidence and team cohesion
  • Learn to manage and chase automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) off your land
  • Develop a mental template for promoting and fueling positive mental and physical health (brain always wins)
  • Learn to accept and reframe disappointment into positive fuel for coping with adversity, injury, and rehabilitation following setbacks
