Document Summary

The study of human behaviour and experience can have many practical applications to sports; this can be for both couches, and athletes. Psychology can help in dealing with stress and creating strategies of coping for athletes. By using the study of human behaviour and experiences, we are able to look more closely into helping both athletes and coaches focus their attention on the present game; this will be beneficial for any future games. These studies also helps us find out what motivates each individual, as well as how to deal with any sports related anxiety and much more. My initial feelings or biases toward sport psychology is that sport psychology has come a long way since even the 1960s, in terms of training, education and research, and i am curious to know more. From this course, i would like to learn more about the background of sport psychology, as well as learning about motivation.
