Strong training produces strong sport performance. Sport Psychology offers such training, suitable for people of all levels and in all sport activities. Prof. Richard Kam Cheong Suinn, sport psychologist, will share the secrets of mental training using examples from his own consulting experiences. This lecture will be of interest to psychologists and to the general public. This topic is especially valuable since China will be the future host of the Olympic Games. Examples will include ways to achieve self-control, visualization, thought management, goal setting, relaxation, stress management, and concentration.

Prof. Suinn is in Hong Kong as External Examiner to The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is a former member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Sport Psychology Committee and team psychologist for U.S. Summer and Winter men and women Olympic Teams.
