A snippet from The Effects of Psychology on Athletic Performance (psychologytoday. Com) Negative external or internal psychological factors can lead to mental blocks, causing breaks in focus and preparation, poor performance and, at times, injuries to the athlete. They can produce physical disruptions such as muscles tightening, shaking and increased perspiration. If not dealt with, these factors may not only affect the athlete but the team as a whole. To combat these powerful effects, coaches and athletes can focus their efforts on tactics such as goal setting, routines, visualization and confidence. #sportsmentality #sportspsychology #psychologytoday #gym #fitness #exercise #health #mentalhealth #athletementalhealth #workout #mentalperformance #coaching #warriorlife #brain #humanbrain #confidence #winningbehavior #weapon #yourmindisaweapon #sportsperformance #sports #athlete #athleticeatery #visualization #focus #toronto #the6ix #mentaldiscipline #mentalaccuity #clearthinking
