AROUSALRETICULAR ACTIVATING

SYSTEM• RAS is a system within the

brain which causes arousal• extroverts have lower levels of

intrinsic arousal than introverts• hence extroverts seek

situations of high arousal• introverts seek low arousal

situations

Arousal

AROUSAL• a state of mental and physical

preparedness for action• this is the level of inner drives• which forces the sportsperson

to strive to achieve• it needs to be under control• and at the right level

depending on the task• a faster heart rate• faster breathing rate• sweating• ability to focus (concentrate)• response to danger

AROUSAL AND DRIVE THEORY

WITH INCREASED AROUSAL• the dominant habit / most usual

behaviour will be reproduced• a poorly-learned skill will give a

performance full of mistakes• a well-learned skill will give a

skilled performance

Arousal

DRIVE THEORY

increasedarousal

expert novice

increasedperform ance

w orseperform ance

• the higher the arousal level• the higher the achievement /

performance level• the more likely that a well-

learned skill (a dominant response) will be produced

INVERTED U THEORY

INVERTED U THEORY THE POSITION OF OPTIMUM AROUSAL DEPENDS ON

type of activity / task complexity

• gross skills (weight lifting) require high arousal

• fine skills (snooker) require low arousal

skill level of the performer• the more skilful the performer • the higher the optimum

arousal could be

personality of the performer• the more extrovert the

performer• the higher the arousal likely

for optimum performance

Arousal

• there is an optimum arousal level• if aroused more than this• performance will decline

AROUSAL CURVES

BEST PERFORMANCE• Sam’s performance has the

highest level

Arousal

PSYCHING UP• Jon’s best performance takes

place at the highest arousal level• he needs to psych himself up the

most to achieve optimum performance

CONTROLLED AROUSAL• Ted’s best performance takes

place between a narrow range of arousal levels

• therefore arousal needs to be carefully controlled

CATASTROPHE THEORY

CATASTROPHE THEORY• here performance increases as

arousal increases• but if arousal gets too high• a complete loss of

performance occurs

Arousal

• example : the golfer who tries too hard and completely misses the fairway from his drive at the 18th hole when in a winning position

• example : the gymnast who completely messes up her previously well-executed routine in a national final

• anxiety affects arousal

TASK DIFFERENCES

OPTIMUM AROUSAL• can be identified• can be controlled by successful

performers• depends on

– circumstances– personalities

• whether tasks are– simple or complex– fine or gross– strength or endurance– information processing

• whether the performer directs attention – concentrates– narrows attention to the specific

task

Arousal - Tasks

TASK DIFFERENCES

COMPLEX / SKILFULLY DIFFICULT TASKS

• fine, delicate and highly controlled• or information processing tasks• high arousal interferes with task• sometimes very low arousal is

required (calmness)• close control required• narrow band of arousal best

Arousal - Tasks

SIMPLE / GROSS TASKS• easy / large basic movements /

strength or endurance tasks• bigger margin for error• broader optimal arousal zone• tolerate bigger arousal levels

before performance falls

ATTENTIONAttention

ATTENTION AND SELECTIVE ATTENTION• relates to the amount of information we can cope with• since the amount of information we can attend to is limited• we have limited attentional capacity• the performer must therefore attend to only relevant information• and disregard irrelevant information• this is called selective attention

ATTENTIONAL NARROWING AND CONCENTRATION• when some parts of a performance become automatic• the information relevant to those parts does not require attention• this gives the performer spare attentional capacity• which allows the performer to attend to new elements of a skill• such as tactics or anticipating the moves of an opponent

• the coach will need to help the performer to make best use of spare attentional capacity

• the coach will also need to direct the attention of the performer to enable him / her to concentrate and reduce the chance of attentional switching to irrelevant information or distractions

PERCEPTION AND SELECTIVE ATTENTIONSelective Attention

PERCEPTION• perception is stimulus identification• as information is received from the environment, the

performer needs to make sense of it• to interpret it and identify the elements which are

relevant and important• consists of three elements :

– detection– comparison– recognition

SELECTIVE ATTENTION• the process of sorting out relevant bits of information from

the many which are received• attention passes the information to the short-term memory

which gives time for conscious analysis• a good performer can focus totally on an important aspect

of his / her skill• which can exclude other elements which may also be

desirable• sometimes a performer may desire to concentrate on

several different things at once

CONCENTRATIONCONCENTRATION• a state of mind in which attention

is directed towards a specific aim or activity

• attentional focus• control of attention towards a task

CUE UTILISATION• cues can be used by the

sportaperson– to direct attention – to trigger appropriate arousal

responses– to enable attentional focus at a

relevant moment• sometimes, narrowing of

attentional focus by an aroused player– will cause lack of awareness of

broader play issues

USE OF COGNITIVE TECHNIQUES TO ASSIST CONCENTRATION

• imagery• mental rehearsal• relaxation• can be used to direct the

sportsperson’s mind towards a specific task

• these techniques can be thought to manage the stress of the situation

• to manage anxiety in a productive way

Concentration

CONCENTRATION AND ATTENTIONAL STYLES

NIDEFFER’S ATTENTIONAL STYLES

BROAD• a player concentrates on the whole

game – all players’ positions and

movements– open skills

NARROW• the player concentrates on one

aspect of the game– the goalkeeper– closed skills

INTERNAL• the player decides to concentrate on

his own techniqueEXTERNAL• the player focuses on the position of

his opposite number

Concentration

ANXIETYANXIETY• an emotional state• similar to fear• associated with

– physiological (somatic) arousal

– psychological (cognitive) arousal

– feelings of nervousness– feelings of apprehension

Anxiety

TRAIT ANXIETY - A TRAIT• an inbuilt (trait) part of the

personality• a tendency to be fearful of

unfamiliar situations• a tendency to perceive competitive

situations as threatening• a tendency to respond to

competitive situations with apprehension and tension

STATE ANXIETY - A STATE• an emotional response to a

particular situation• characterised by feelings of

nervousness and apprehension

• often temporary

THE EFFECT OF AUDIENCEAROUSAL CAUSED BY AUDIENCE

EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CORRECT DOMINANT RESPONSE

• audience evaluation causes arousal

• if a skill is poorly learnt (early in the learning curve)

• then arousal causes incorrect response• because incorrect response is

dominant

Arousal and Audience

• if a skill is well-learnt (later in the learning curve)

• then arousal causes correct response• because the correct response is

dominant

• look at inverted U theory for connection between arousal and performance

THE DISTRACTION EFFECTDISTRACTION• is an aspect of concentration

(or lack of concentration)• attentional focus is very

important for the effective sportsperson

• if this is disrupted then he / she is distracted from his / her task

• audience and evaluation apprehension can act as a distraction

• the sportsperson needs therefore to practise in distracting circumstances

• and practise switching attentional focus when faced with potentially distracting circumstances

EUSTRESS• a type of stress with a positive

effect• the performer actively seeks the

thrill of the danger• and enjoys the excitement and

feeling of satisfaction when it is over

• examples :– bungy jumping– free rock climbing– extreme sport skiing– ultra high diving

• ‘I like an unforgiving situation where if you make a mistake you suffer for it’

EFFECT OF STRESS ON PERFORMANCEINHIBITION• inhibition of performance

PERFORMANCE OF SKILLS• stress may act directly on the

information processing of skill

• motor elements of skill are performed less well

• muscles tense• muscular control is reduced

CONCENTRATION• concentration is difficult• span of attention is narrowed

STRESS• awareness of being under

stress itself acts as a stressor

MEASUREMENT OF STRESSQUESTIONNAIRES• Marten’s Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT)• measures emotional and physiological responses

to stress in the competitive situation• Speilberger’s State, Trait Anxiety Inventory

(STAI)• measures emotional and physiological responses

to stress in general and specific situations

BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES• the performance of sports players is observed• a subjective method

PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES• require laboratory testing equipment, objective

methods• examples :

– galvanic skin response– electrocardiogram– electroencephalogram

RELAXATION TECHNIQUESIMAGERY RELAXATION• think of a place with associations of warmth and

relaxation• imagine the activity or technique• practise in non-stressful situations• use prior to competition

PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION TRAINING (PRT)• learn to tense then deeply relax separate muscle groups

CENTRING• control of physiological symptoms of stress by focusing

on control of the diaphragm and deep breathing

SELF-DIRECTED RELAXATION TRAINING• focus on each of the major muscle groups in turn• allow breathing to become slow and easy• visualise the tension flowing out of a muscle group• until completely relaxed• eventually combine muscle groups• and achieve total relaxation quickly

Control of Stress

STRESS CONTROL TECHNIQUESBIOFEEDBACK• monitor skin temperature

– cold if stressed– warm if unstressed

• galvanic skin response– electrical conductivity of skin increases when

moist– tense muscle cause sweating

• electromygraphy– electrodes taped to specific muscles – can detect electrical activity– hence tension in muscle

SELF-TALK• talking through the process of a competitive situation• talking positively, building self-confidence

Control of Stress

COGNITIVE STRESS MANAGEMENT• control of emotions and thought processes• linked to attributions• eliminate negative feelings• develop self-confidence

• facilitates concentration• enables focus on the important aspects of a task

• enables the setting of challenging but realistic goals

• increases effort

• affects game strategies – a confident player plays to win even if it means

SELF-CONFIDENCE

OVERCONFIDENCE OR FALSE CONFIDENCE

• is dangerous because it can lead to– inadequate preparation– low motivation– low arousal

• which are difficult to correct when competition is under way

LACK OF CONFIDENCE• causes stress under pressure• causes concentration on outside

stressors– mistakes – spectators

• causes the setting of goals which are either too easy or too hard

• causes the athlete to try to avoid mistakes

• non-confident athletes find it difficult to reverse negative psychological momentum– once things start to go wrong – it is difficult to think positively

MOTIVATION IS HIGHEST WHEN• the performer is keen to participate• the performer is keen to learn• the performer is keen to perform• the performer is keen to perform

effectively• when the motivational climate is

right• when the training programme is

interesting and varied

MOTIVATION IS REDUCED BY• routine• competition between motives

PEOPLE• have multiple motives• share motives• have unique motivational profiles• need variation in training and

competition• need variation in intensity and

competitiveness• need structured coaching and

teaching environments
