Document Summary
Anxiety self awareness- compared to non-elite athletes, elite athletes see their anxiety as facilitative rather than debilitative. Cognitive , somatic and multimodal anxiety reduction techniques. ~cognitive- relaxation response teaches individuals to quiet the mind, concentrate, and reduce muscle tension by applying the elements of meditation. Autogenic training focuses on producing two physical sensations- warmth and heaviness- to produce a relaxed state. ~multimodal (sit)- an individual is exposed to and learns to cope with stress (via productive thoughts, mental images, and self- statements) in increasing amounts, thereby enhancing his or her immunity to stress. ~ prepare for the stressor ( it"s going to be rough; keep your cool ) ~ control and handle the stressor ( keep your cool since he is losing his cool ) ~ cope with feelings of being overwhelmed ( keep focused; what do you have to do next? ) ~ evaluate coping efforts ( you handled yourself well )
