muscles as well as practice your walking form. Modern treadmills have some pre-programmed
workouts to give you a controlled workout challenge. The treadmill may also have
readouts for heart rate, calories burned, etc. which give you feedback data so

Anxiety
and Playing in Front of Big Crowds
Author: Michelle
Cranston | Sports Psychology
There
is a common perception among many athletes, coaches, and
even some sport psychologists that anxiety
is a “bad” state, and should be reduced at all costs. Sport psychologists
would traditionally most likely begin with teaching an anxious athlete relaxation
and deep breathing skills. In my practice, I have found another approach also

their performance, usually the anxiety increases. Their anxiety can then become
out of control, reducing their performance, and completing a self-fulfilling
prophecy...........Read

different sports require the use of different energy
systems, there is usually also a difference in the

Cranston | Sports Psychology
Goal
setting is perhaps the most effective tool to enhance sporting
performance and personal growth. Nevertheless, it is probably
one of the most misapplied interventions. Like many sport
psychology tools, the process of goal setting is often assumed,
and without the knowledge of the correct method of goal setting,
the intervention can have reverse effects, resulting in anxiety,
feelings of failure, and lack of motivation. As with most
sport psychology interventions, coaches and athletes need
to be educated on how, when, and why the skills are to be
used, and then set aside consistent times to practice, and
regularly revisit these sills.
