Teaching sports psychology in schools is very important because this is where sporting activities start. Sports psychology is not an easy thing to teach to the youngsters but we do not have an option because the earlier it is taught, the better for these young talents. Children need to learn things from the less complex to the more complex, or from the known to the unknown, therefore in order to teach them well, you need to start by telling them what sports are, then you can proceed to tell them what is sports psychology and its usefulness in sports. I know it is hard to explain to children that by learning the many mistakes people make when playing, one can perform better, but that is the only way to do it. after sometimes, they will understand the whole thing and start appreciating sport psychology like the sport itself. Training teachers on sport psychology is also good because teachers are in a better position to teach these things to the children than any other person. This is because children tend to trust teachers more than anybody else.
