Sport Psychology

At NEFC, we believe that a strong mindset is just as important as physical skill. Our Sport Psychology Program is designed to help athletes develop confidence, resilience, and mental toughness—key traits for success on and off the field. Through workshops, newsletters, and a library of resources, we provide players with the tools they need to handle pressure, stay focused, and perform at their best.

Gee O'malley

I'm Georgie O'Malley,  I've played football since I was around 8 years old, played throughout my teen years and into University. Around 10 years ago I began coaching, this allowed me to see the game from a whole new perspective and I soon discovered a new found love for the game; I've now spent the last 6 years out here in the US coaching at club level for a few different clubs in NJ, and MA. As a player in my late teen years, I was extremely interested in the psychological side of sports and how that can affect athletes, I wanted to find out more about this field so I went on to study Sport Psychology and Coaching Sciences for my Undergraduate Degree. Following this, I begun putting it into practice and soon experienced the benefits this had on the athletes I was working with, I wanted a deeper understanding of how I could assist athlete's with the psychological side of their game, so this, alongside being a big believer in 'you should never stop learning' lead me to recently completing my Masters Degree.
