How long did the session last?
The session I ran this week lasted 1 hour on Tuesday night at 6pm.
Where did the session take place?
This session took place at my house in my office at 6pm on Tuesday night.
Which psychological strategy is being used?
The psychological strategy that was used was self talk. In this session we spoke about what self talk was. I explained to her that self talk was when you have statements to help you convince yourself you are good enough to do things and describing events using positive words rather than negative ones. I told her that you need to have statements to help you convince yourself because it will give you positive attitude and motivate you. Also if you think positively before doing something you will be more focus but if you use negative words and thoughts then you will go in your shell and not perform to your best ability as you are worried.
Why did you choose this activity for your sports performer?
I chose this activity for my sports performer because I think it will be good for her to help her think positively and have statements that she thinks about before she races. Therefore we spoke about positive words that she thinks are good and what she thinks could help motivate her and also i gave my ideas of some of the things she could think to herself to help her when it comes to a competition. For example when she is racing and she is nearly finished but it is getting hard she could think positive things like: the rewards and praise she will get of people she had never spoken to before. this will help her to fight through the pain barrier and get to the finish line.
What specific benefits will this bring to your performer and possibly their team?
The specific benefits she will be able to achieve by doing this will be that it will motivate her to want to finish and succeed. Also it will benefit her because she is thinking positively instead of negatively which will boost her confidence and self belief and she won't be so shy and in her shell as much.
