Post 5 Week 4 Training Program Self Talk

How long did the session last?
This session lasted 1HR 15 Minutes.

Where did the session take place? 
This session took place at my house on Tuesday night at 6pm.

Which psychological strategy is being used? 
In this session the psychological strategy that was being used was Self Talk. In this session we sat down and looked at quotes and songs to be able to read or listen to before a race to motivate her. Once we had picked some quotes and songs we added them to a iTunes library then put them on a little iPod so she could listen to them before a race. We made sure that the songs were motivating so they would get her in the racing spirit as soon as she put her headphones in. We agreed that she should listen to them at least 1hr 30 minutes before she raced so they sunk in and she should listen to them right up until the start of the race. We also agreed on athletes she could look at who inspired her to do well.

Why did you choose this activity for your sports performer?
I chose this activity because I thought that it would be good for her to have her own play list of songs and quotes for before she races. This is good because it will help he improve in her self belief before a race.

What specific benefits will this bring to your performer and possibly their team? 
The benefits she will get from this will be that she will be more motivated before she races this will also improve her self belief because she will be more confident before she races which will help her because she will know how good she is ins tea dog doubting her self all the time and going into her shell. Also having some one to aspire to will help to motivate her and a benefit in her improving her times and positions because she will want to be like them.
