Download or read book Self talk in Sport written by Alexander T. Latinjak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes are naturally exposed to significant psychological challenges in sports, but do not wait helplessly for the assistance of sports psychologists or trainers. Instead, they practise one form or another of self-regulation. Self-talk in Sport explores one such self-regulatory strategy: self-talk, the inner voice that accompanies every human being throughout their lives. Over time, research has revealed many secrets of self-talk in sport, though many others remain unveiled. This book offers you the opportunity to discover the multiple identities of our self-talk, how the “inner coach” serves as a rational counterpart to the irrational self, and what we need to do to develop our inner voice to reach its maximum self-regulatory potential. There is a general need for concrete interventions in sport, exercise, and performance psychology. In addition, the autonomous functioning of people is a central aim of psychological interventions that align with positive psychology and focus on people’s strengths rather than weaknesses. In this volume, researchers and applied practitioners are shown how they can use self-talk interventions to strengthen people’s rational self-regulation in order to deal with a variety of situations that apply to both sport and other exercise and performance contexts. Since self-talk is a tangible result of cognitive processes and inner experiences that researchers and applied practitioners can barely access, Self-talk in Sport is a tool for sports psychologists to understand and interact with hidden parts within athletes that have a major impact on sport and exercise experiences and performance. A book demonstrating the diverse – both rational and irrational identities – of self-talk, as well as specific interventions to change the inner dialogue of athletes, is a fundamental piece in the education of sport scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental toughness and competitive anxiety are two critical factors that can impact the performance of football players. In Ethiopian football, these factors have not been extensively studied. Seid Suleiman Mohammed conducted a research study to investigate the relationship between mental toughness and competitive anxiety in Ethiopian football players. The study involved 180 male football players aged between 18 and 35 years. The participants were asked to complete two questionnaires: the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2). The SMTQ assessed the players' mental toughness levels, while the CSAI-2 evaluated their anxiety levels before and during the game. The results of the study showed a significant negative correlation between mental toughness and competitive anxiety. This means that football players with higher levels of mental toughness experience lower levels of competitive anxiety. The study also found that there were no significant differences in mental toughness and competitive anxiety levels between professional and amateur football players. Overall, the study highlights the importance of mental toughness in Ethiopian football players' performance and the need for strategies to improve mental toughness levels and reduce competitive anxiety.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anxiety and performance among women tennis players and track athletes at the collegiate level. Nineteen subjects were members of the Washington State University tennis and track teams who participated in at least 80% of the scheduled matches or meets. The Institute of Personality and Ability Testing Eight Parallel Form Anxiety Battery was administered during a practice session and prior to two meets or matches. Scores obtained were paired with performance scores that were collected from competition. Both anxiety scores and performance scores were ranked and a Spearman Rank-Order Correlation was calculated to determine the relationship. The anxiety and performance correlation for meet l yielded a value that was not significant as did the correlation for meet 2. It was however, interesting to note that the #l singles player, one of the #2 doubles players and the #l track athlete (as determined by the tennis ladder and the number of points awarded at track meets) also scored highest in anxiety in relation to other subjects in this study. A correlation was also calculated to obtain a relationship between anxiety scores of competitors and their respective athletic experience in the sports under study. Again, the correlation proved to be not significant"--Document.
