Cicero’s Answer

Traditionally Psychology works on a pathology (or a problem) so one can get cured. The sports psychology works on the strengths of an athlete with the goal to make him better (flourishing). This is tightly related to Positive Psychology, where we work on our strengths. This is a new field that needs more talents, good reason to pursue this career.
