REDUCING ANXIETY= INCREASE PERFORMANCE
· Increase confidence in your ability to achieve your goals rather than: “I want to stimulate the physiological adaptions that will enable me to perform”
· Instinctively make decisions that will raise your confidence and mute your doubt; eg: get a new coach, trainer etc.
NEED ACHIEVEMENT THEORY
· High achievers focus on pride, success and a low motivation to avoid failure-they enjoy evaluating their abilities
· Low achievers focus on shame, and often become preoccupied with thoughts of failure
· Outcome goal orientation is common with high achievers
MORE ANXIETY….GOOD & BAD
· Reversal theory= the relationship between arousal and performance depends on ones interpretation of the arousal level
· Athletes lower in self-esteem are more likely to experience low confidence and high state anxiety
· Symptoms of high state anxiety: rapid breathing, profuse sweating, muscle tension, inability to concentrate and sleeping problems
· High performance athelets perceive their anxiety as facilitating rather than harming performance
