Understanding the sports psychology concepts of motivation, anxiety, focus, and arousal is essential for achieving high levels of performance in sport. This video examines the effects of repetitive training on motivation and the internal and external factors that can affect it. Sports psychologists and coaches discuss the effects of anxiety and the pressures, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that athletes often feel. Athletes and their coaches also discuss physical and social stress, how to manage it, and how to turn it to the athlete’s advantage. This is a helpful visual learning tool for athletes and coaches who are searching for the “zone of optimal functioning” (the phrase from which “in the zone” is derived) and who want to improve performance through an understanding of positive and negative motivators.
