Sport Psychology is primarily concerned with the mental and emotional aspects of sports performance, including anxiety, motivation, concentration, and self-confidence.

State Anxiety is a temporary state of apprehension and nervousness experienced in specific situations, such as before a competition or performance.

Moderate levels of anxiety can enhance focus, motivation, and arousal, leading to improved performance. However, very low or high anxiety can hinder performance.

Cognitive Restructuring involves identifying and challenging negative thoughts and replacing them with more positive and realistic ones.

Relaxation techniques aim to reduce muscle tension, slow heart rate, and promote a sense of calmness, which can help manage anxiety.

Enhanced concentration and focus are not typically associated with anxiety; rather, anxiety often leads to decreased concentration and focus.

Locus of Control refers to an individual's belief about the extent to which their actions and outcomes are determined by internal factors (internal locus of control) or external factors (external locus of control).

Mental Imagery involves visualizing successful performances and positive outcomes, which can enhance focus and concentration.

Systematic Desensitization involves gradually exposing an individual to anxiety-provoking situations while teaching them relaxation techniques to manage their anxiety.

Consuming caffeine and energy drinks can worsen anxiety and interfere with sleep, which can negatively impact performance.

Social Anxiety refers to the fear or anxiety experienced in social situations due to the fear of being judged or evaluated negatively.

Self-Efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to perform a specific task or achieve a desired outcome.

Goal Setting involves setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals to provide direction and motivation.

Time Management is not typically considered a psychological skill specifically used in sport psychology, although it can be important for athletes to manage their time effectively.

Self-Talk involves using positive self-statements and affirmations to enhance performance, motivation, and self-confidence.
