Skip used to employ a sports psychologist. Does Jay?

Skip was a master at the mental game, and he made it a priority. From my limited time around Jay (e.g. attending coaches committee meetings) Jay doesn't seem to make it quite as big of a priority.

I’m 99.9% sure there is someone available for athletes mental health.
I remember Beloso being pretty open about it.

That isn’t necessarily the same thing as “sports psychology”. Mental health issues will certainly have an impact on performance in any sport, but a sport psychologist will likely not be focused on providing “therapy” for his clients. Instead he is focused on helping to identify blocks and impediments to optimal performance, helping athletes to mentally recover from injury, and helping to optimize performance related mind processes. Lots of visualization and mentally repeating scenarios leading to success and less time spent talking about how you “feel” about things. That’s all very simplified and there is always going to be some crossover/overlap, but they are two different roles with different goals and approaches.

Skip was ahead of his time, which is why he dominated. The stuff he was doing then is now common practice and even elementary to the coaches/players today. You have 12u travel ball kids getting coaching on launch angles, exit velos, and spin rates. Something as simple as a sports physiologist won’t be very transformational for most guys these days.
