ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the application of sport psychology in physical education and its teaching strategies, emphasizing the importance of psychological factors in students' physical education learning and participation. First, the article reviews the basic theories of sport psychology, pointing out its potential for improving athletic performance and promoting mental health. Subsequently, the study analyzes the practical applications of sport psychology in physical education, including mental skills training, motivational stimulation, self-efficacy enhancement, and optimization of teamwork and communication. These applications not only help students overcome psychological barriers, but also enhance their sense of sport participation and achievement. In addition, the article proposes a series of teaching strategies based on sport psychology with a view to improving the effectiveness and interest of physical education. Finally, through case studies and practical research, it verifies the practical effects of the application of sport psychology, puts forward suggestions for the future reform and development of physical education, and calls for the integration of sport psychology into the practice of physical education teaching in order to cultivate students' comprehensive quality and mental toughness.
