He're's an interesting piece on the use of psychology to improve sports performance:

The strategy of self-talk has been used by cognitive therapists to treat mental disorders. Their research has shown a remarkable success rate with this approach. Sport psychologists borrowed the technology from them, improving sports performance with equally remarkable success. Self-talk is a factor that a person controls himself, improving performance in sports through control and manipulation of such talk.
