@AlexAuerbachPhD Can't answer this unless you operationally define "better"... Better for what? Better for whom? You are prescribing valence within the question without context for its foundation.

@AlexAuerbachPhD Part of the challenge is that what you describe with the umbrella term "sport psychology" is more likely a blend of elements from the job descriptions of sport psych (MH focus), mental performance coaching (MP focus), lifeskills, and even some professional agent/rep professions!
