Psychological Skills Training

Three credits · Undergraduate

This course examines various interventional techniques to enhance athletic performance. We will review commonly applied sport psychological skill training techniques, such as imagery, self-talk, goal setting, and confidence enhancement. In addition, new technologies to train perceptual-cognitive elements of athletic performance will be explored. Students will be asked to design applied workshops. The application of training to exercise, and occupations settings (e.g. health care) will be discussed. Prerequisite: HKIN 136 and third year standing. Three credits.
