Goal Setting

Introduction to Sports Psychology

by James Manktelow

Your body is a mass of muscles and nerves linked together into the central processing unit that is your brain. This series of articles on sports psychology seeks to show you how to use that central processing unit to its greatest effect in controlling your body to give optimum sporting performance.

The section takes two separate approaches:

• A tools based approach explaining the three fundamental sports psychology tools:
  • Goal Setting
  • Imagery and Simulation
  • Flow and Flow Control
• An application based approach explaining how to use the tools to their maximum effect.

Enjoy the Mind Tools Sports Psychology section - lessons you can learn here apply to high performance living both inside and outside sport.
