 Language, the most important means for sharing information between sport psychologist and athletes, has a fundamental role in conceptualizing the issues and formulating interventions. Due to perceptual limitations, initial changes naturally occur in the meaning of the sensory information that enters the nervous system. The second stage of transforming meanings occurs when the clients interpret the received information and verbalize it. This paper aims to evaluate the implications of spoken language in the transformational grammar approach to improve sports performance by gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the clients and increasing the effectiveness of the interventions.

 This paper is a commentary on the role of language in counseling sport psychology.

 This paper introduces the use of transformational grammar and clearing meanings in language.

 Clearing the meanings of the language that athletes use in counseling sessions would contribute to a comprehensive understating of the actual difficulties that athletes face. Also, clearing language may prepare the ground for achieving the goals of the particular intervention through raising self-awareness and reframing thoughts.
