Desсrіption: Athletes and coaches alike often ask the question, “how exactly does the
mind influence performance?” It would appear that they believe physical conditioning and skill
acquisition are more important than one’s mindset. Yet, when an athlete fails to perform well, he/
she’ll often say, “I had a lapse in concentration, or my focus wasn’t where it should have been, or
I wasn’t as motivated as I needed to be”. These explanations have nothing to do with physical
conditioning or skill, yet they are often the difference between winning and losing.
In short, the components of performance generally include physical conditioning, skill
level and psychological preparedness, regardless of the athlete or sport. The degree of physical
conditioning and skill will vary. However, an athlete’s psychologically readiness to compete
should remain constant in any performance or practice situation.
The mental skills that are essential for an athlete to be the best he/she can be include confidence,
concentration, mental toughness, motivation and coping with pressure.
Athletes who can manage these states effectively, can control their performance. These skills are
like physical skills, they can be taught and learned.
The objective of this assignment is to assist athletes in the development of mental skills
to achieve performance success and personal well-being. The paper should be written with a
specific sport in mind. Upon completion, this paper (manual) should be of such quality that a
minor sports organization could distribute the document for coaches to implement with their athletes.
Essentially, you are preparing a manual to act as a guide for coaches.
