Presentation conducted by Health Services personnel, Malinda Shell, and I on January 26, 2011. Presented to coaches of various sports programs at Valley Football Center, Oregon State University
This document provides information about mental health resources for student athletes at Oregon State University (OSU). It defines mental health and discusses how declines in mental health can affect athletic performance. It encourages coaches to help identify issues and refer athletes for help. OSU athletes experience higher rates of mental health issues than regular students. Resources discussed include Health Coaching, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and Student Health Services. CAPS provides free and confidential counseling including individual, couples, and group sessions. The goal is to help athletes return to their baseline level of functioning and optimize performance.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on building emotional intelligence (EQ). It discusses the five core EQ skills - self awareness, self regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. For each skill, it describes strategies for improving such as mindfulness meditation, understanding emotions, compassion exercises, and relationship management techniques. The goal is to help participants understand EQ, assess their current level, and learn ways to strengthen their emotional skills through activities and self reflection.
The document discusses the role and use of sports psychologists. Sports psychology studies how an athlete's mind affects performance and vice versa. Sports psychologists aim to help athletes overcome pressures, improve performance, and increase enjoyment through techniques like mental imagery, goal setting, concentration skills, and relaxation. They teach athletes to focus on the task, center themselves, and use positive self-talk to stay in control and confident. For example, a gymnast struggling with a vault could benefit from imagery, concentration, self-talk, and goal setting taught by a sports psychologist to help her successfully learn the skill.
Academic pressure is a common issue faced by many students due to high expectations to perform well. It can come from parents, teachers, peers, and oneself. Performance anxiety is a type of anxiety related to accomplishing tasks or fearing consequences of not performing well. Physical symptoms include increased heart rate and sweating, while cognitive symptoms are negative self-talk and difficulty concentrating. Strategies to lessen performance anxiety include thorough preparation and practice, challenging negative thoughts, relaxation techniques, visualizing success, and seeking support.
Game within the Game- Intro to Mental TrainingMike Margolies
Sport Psychology Consultants (SPC) provides mental training programs designed for athletes' needs to optimize performance. SPC takes an educational approach, teaching mental skills like relaxation, concentration, and imagery that can improve performance. Programs focus on areas like goal setting, arousal control, and building confidence. Regular mental practice helps ingrain skills to automatically use in competition. SPC aims to give athletes a long-term understanding of their mental potential.
Motivation drives athletes to push past pain and discomfort to achieve goals. Anxiety can disrupt focus and performance if at extreme levels. There are two types of anxiety - trait which is a person's general stress level, and state which is specific to situations like penalty shots. Stress comes from many sources for athletes like pressure to win, competition, social factors, and physical demands. Optimal arousal for performance follows an inverted-U relationship where moderate arousal is best. Psychological strategies like relaxation, mental rehearsal, concentration training, and goal setting can help manage stress, anxiety, and improve focus to enhance performance.
Attention & Self-talk in sports psychologyadilalikhanms
This document discusses attention and attentional skills in sports psychology. It defines attention as the focus of consciousness on a particular object or idea at the exclusion of others. There are different types of attention including visual attention, auditory attention, and sustained attention. Principles of attention include concentrating mental effort on specific and controllable actions. Attentional problems can arise from factors like arousal levels, distractibility, scanning abilities, and cognitive interference. Self-talk influences moods and behavior through its rationality, specificity, and automaticity. Attentional skills can be assessed through behavioral observations, self-reports, and measuring arousal and focus levels.
This document discusses stress management techniques for athletes. It defines stress as occurring when an athlete's perceived abilities are less than the demands of competition, leading to negative thoughts and high anxiety. The stress formula shows that stress results from an environmental stimulus, arousal, and negative thoughts. Stress management involves changing the environment, reducing arousal through relaxation, and eliminating negative thoughts with cognitive techniques. It provides examples of relaxation, imagery, breathing, mental rehearsal, and goal setting exercises athletes can use to manage stress.
This document provides guidance on teaching mental skills for improved athletic performance. It discusses establishing a lifestyle commitment to areas like time management, nutrition, and fitness. Developing a positive attitude is key and includes believing in oneself, enjoying the process, and using positive self-talk. Goal setting should be specific, measurable, attainable, and time-bound. Visualization techniques can help athletes mentally practice skills. Focusing on the present moment rather than outcomes helps performance. Confidence stems from preparation and resilience in response to failures. Coaches can build confidence through praise and focusing on processes rather than scores. Leadership requires creating a team environment and maximizing strengths. Mental skills like relaxation, breathing, and focus/refocus techniques are presented.
The document discusses the causes and types of stress, as well as techniques for managing stress. It defines stress as an imbalance between demands and the ability to cope. Stress can be caused by internal factors like negative thinking or perfectionism, or external factors like work, relationships, or financial problems. There are two types of stress - eustress, which is positive stress that motivates, and distress, which is negative stress that decreases performance. Stress management techniques include exercise, social engagement, relaxation methods, yoga, meditation, and autogenic training.
The document discusses PTSD prevention for law enforcement officers. It outlines risk factors for PTSD and burnout, including lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and prior trauma. To prevent PTSD and promote resilience, the document recommends developing mindfulness, managing vulnerabilities like stress and poor self-care, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and using distress tolerance strategies. Early interventions focus on social support and finding meaning after incidents, while later interventions may involve counseling and time off for officers showing signs of burnout or hopelessness.
This document discusses stress management and provides information about stress at the workplace. It defines stress and identifies its positive and negative aspects. Different sources of stress at work are described, including job insecurity, working hours, control at work, and managerial style. Symptoms and effects of work stress on physical, psychological, and behavioral health are outlined. Finally, various ways to combat work stress are presented, such as getting more sleep, engaging in physical activity, relaxation techniques, time management, and avoiding unhealthy habits.
This document discusses occupational stress among police officers in Thrissur district, India. It finds that 31.84% of officers experienced mild stress, 16.73% moderate stress, and 0.41% severe stress. The most commonly reported organizational stressors were staff shortages and bureaucratic red tape. The most common operational stressors were fatigue and feeling like they are always on the job. It recommends stress management training and modifying duties to reduce stress and its negative impacts on officers.
This document outlines an agenda for a stress management workshop. It includes icebreakers for participants to introduce themselves and discuss stressful experiences. It reviews research on stress and its impacts on health. The workshop aims to help participants identify their stress indicators, stress reduction resources, and set personal goals for a healthier lifestyle. Various activities are included like stress inventories, discussions on managing stress through humor, relaxation strategies, and incorporating more positive emotions at work.
The document discusses how to control your emotions and career by understanding how the different parts of the brain work. It explains that according to Paul MacLean's triune model of evolution, the brain has three regions - the reptilian brain for survival, the limbic brain for emotions, and the neo-cortex for cognition. To succeed in your career, you need to train your brain so the cognitive brain is in control, not the emotional or survival brains. Some ways to do this include slowing down when angry, meditating, surrounding yourself with positive people, and using data and long-term thinking for decisions rather than impulses. Taking time to examine decisions and get outside perspectives can also help ensure your cognitive brain is making

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

the class will be disciplined
Surprise quizzes, work, staying back after
class etc.
Let us not even go there once!

9. PBH Points
Participation
Behavior
Homework
Do Good things
Homework done (90% or more), answer questions in
class, correct me if I make a mistake (be nice about
it) = +5 points
Do Bad things
Come late to class, disrupt, not do homework = -5
points
Get kicked out of class – 10 points!
10. Lates & Absences
If you are late – enter the class quietly (doorknob might
be unlocked). Do not make a show of it! I keep track of
lates and you may receive a detention.
If I award points for homework and you are absent, it is
your responsibility to show it to me after class on your
time (not mine). This should take 20 seconds.
Late assignments = -5% / day.
If absent, must be handed in upon your return (no
penalty). If you do hand it in the next day, this will be
considered two days late – 5% / day late).
Get two reliable classmates’ number.
Tests or quizzes are expected to be written the day you
come back. Make sure your absence is justified to avoid
headaches.
