SPORT AND EXERCISE PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract
In the area of Sport and Exercise Psychology the psychological skills training of an
athlete may lead to an overall improvement of their performance. Items such as stress and
anxiety levels must be looked at in order to create a program that will help an athlete
become aware of their surroundings and abilities and how they can affect their overall
talent both on and off of the field. To be a good athlete one must also be a good
student. Through various models and theories one may be able to explore an area of the
mind, alter the situations that control that area and thereby change the level of stress
or anxiety experienced by the athlete.
