Sport psychology
Abstract
The marble role is one of the projects that engage students mind and body. For the past decades, it has been proven important to maintain a positive state of the brain and mind in sports activities. Sports psychology encourages those engaging in sports activities to be in a positive environment that motivates their state of mind. The purpose of this report is to analyse the rolling marble results. In this project, there were 36 participants; 23 women and 13 men, aged 19 to 43 years. The participants were divided into 3 groups namely, Berwick, Gippsland, and Distance. Each roller had three rolls and the average of all three was calculated. The implication of this study is that, the game emphasizes more on mental strength and how an individual can handle pressure. Participants had to be consistent to understand the game and win. Before starting, students had a period to understand and familiarise themselves with the task.
Introduction
Although coaches emphasize more on the physical aspect of sport activities, sport psychologists focus more on the mind. Social psychology obliges the need for athletes to be equipped with the required skills and abilities to win. This field encourages athletes to value mental strategies such as early preparations, relaxation, and coping with pressures of winning or losing. Coaches are also encouraged to promote high self-esteem in participants. Based on the project’s results, one can affirm that students performed well when competing as a team rather than individually. The Berwick group had the highest mean score of 100.7 while Distance had the least mean score of 40.4. The psychology behind this analysis is that, team work motivates athletes to perform well. Team work and team building are essential skills that coaches and athletes should possess to succeed in sports activities. When athletes adopt the concept of teamwork, they are more likely to increase in their work performance (Singh, 2005). According to Wallace
