“Practical Application of Sport Psychology”
Use the APA format and cite at least four (4) sources on the slides. I have guidelines on using the APA format and citing sources attached here for you.
Select a problem or situation you have observed in a physical activity setting that could be prevented or improved upon using the principles you have learned in sport and exercise psychology. Please limit your selection of problems or situations to the following areas:
Arousal, Stress, and Anxiety
Imagery
Self-confidence
Goal setting
Attention or concentration
You may consider situations that you might encounter as a coach, physical educator, athletic trainer or physical therapist, fitness professional, and so on. In other words, although the type of problem that you tackle is limited (e.g., teamwork), the situation to which you choose to apply your knowledge is not. Design a program or intervention to prevent or improve the situation. Be specific! In the event that you encounter this situation in the real world, you should be able to use the material that you’ve developed for this project as is.
FINAL PRODUCT
make sure that it is typed, double-spaced and includes the following:
An introduction describing the situation, activity, individuals, age group, skill or ability level, and any other circumstances pertinent to the situation for which you are designing your program or intervention.
1-2 slides highlighting the literature reviewed to decide on effective interventions.
A complete description of your program or intervention. How will it work? If it is designed to take place in stages, what are these stages? How often should each stage be used? How will you know if your program or intervention has been effective?
Any forms, visual aids, or other materials you would use to implement your program or intervention (e.g., if you’re doing a goal-setting intervention for high school basketball players, develop the actual form or visual aid you would use for recording goals). The key to this part of the assignment is to be creative and specific!
List the limitations of your program or intervention: Could you modify it for another sport or a different group? Could you apply these interventions to any person?
Assignment Requirements (Use as a checklist):
Use Arial or Times New Roman Font
Minimum of four (4) cited sources
Use APA format and parenthetical citations right after cited material
Make sure your name is on your title slide
Include a title slide and a works cited page (no abstract needed)
