Sports and Psychology: Frozen Ropes Adopts PsychTests' ACE (Athletic Competition Evaluation) to Improve Young Athletes' Mental Performance

Montreal, Canada, March 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Frozen Ropes, renowned for their baseball and softball training centers and player development, and PsychTests AIM Inc., the online testing guru, announced today that they are teaming up to help develop young, aspiring athletes take their mental skills to another level.

Success in sports depends a great deal on factors beyond physical talent. It is not uncommon for highly skilled players of all ages to crack under pressure or struggle with bouts of competitive anxiety, loss of focus or loss of confidence. Coaches and researchers in sports psychology are well aware that in order for an athlete to succeed, they must possess the proper physical skill and mindset.

Frozen Ropes has now added a psychological assessment, created by Psychtests, to their training curriculum. ACE (Athletic Competition Evaluation), now allows athletes and coaches to learn about players' psychological strengths, and the areas they will need to develop in order to enhance their physical performance on the field. The test assesses, among other things, an athlete's work ethic, ability to focus, parental and peer pressure, competitive anxiety and motivation issues. Assessments are developed for players as young as 10 years of age to the professional level athlete. Test results are then shared with the player and a customized mental skills training program is created by Frozen Ropes to address any weaknesses.
