Women have faced discrimination in sports throughout history that limited their opportunities for athletic success. However, influential female athletes like Katherine Switzer, who ran in the Boston Marathon despite being told she could not participate, and Olympian Wilma Rudolph helped pave the way for increased participation and equality in women's sports. By 2000, women were competing in the same number of sports teams as men and inspiring younger generations through "Little Leagues." Participation in sports provides both physical and mental health benefits for women like stress relief, confidence, and feelings of optimism.
Playing sports provides numerous physical and mental health benefits throughout one's life. It improves cardiovascular health, muscle and bone strength, and weight management. Sports also boost self-esteem and reduce stress by providing an outlet for stress relief and a support system through teammates. Participating in sports as a child and teenager is linked to greater quality of life, independence, and fewer doctor visits in older age.

Sports and Health - Slide Marvels, Top PowerPoint presentation design agencySlide Marvels
Sports have been documented as far back as 3000 years ago in ancient Greece. Sports are classified as physical, mental, or social activities. Physical sports require skill and physical exertion, mental sports emphasize strategy and problem-solving over physicality, and social sports like team sports help build social networks. Participating in sports provides numerous health benefits like controlling weight, improving cardiovascular health, reducing stress, and maintaining strong bones and muscles. Sports also benefit mental health by improving concentration, confidence, and focus.
The document discusses overtraining in athletes, which occurs when there are excessive training demands that decrease performance and mental health. Overtraining is usually caused by a lack of recovery time between training sessions and competitions. It can lead to both physical and mental symptoms in athletes. Physically, overtraining causes decreased abilities, increased fatigue, and injuries. Mentally, it results in disrupted sleep, irritability, lack of motivation and concentration issues. The document recommends allowing for adequate recovery between training sessions, ensuring training is varied, limiting the intensity and volume of increases in training, and being aware of overtraining symptoms to prevent injuries and burnout in young athletes.
1. Physiological factors like body type, diet, age and fitness level can impact an athlete's performance. Diet and proper nutrition provide energy for exercise while fitness improves endurance, power and recovery. Age affects the types of sports suitable and an athlete's ability to adapt declines after 30 years old.
2. Psychological factors such as stress, motivation and confidence also influence performance. Stress from unrealistic expectations or criticism can lower focus and skill, while motivation can drive high performance.
3. Environmental conditions such as altitude, weather and playing surface quality impact athletes. High altitude requires acclimation to carry more oxygen. Harsh weather may cause dehydration or injuries, and wet or poor surfaces can increase injury risk
Benefits of exercise physical and psychological EmHall
Exercise provides significant physical and psychological benefits. Physically, regular exercise of at least 30 minutes per day can improve overall health and help manage conditions like heart disease and diabetes, while more intense exercise may be needed for weight loss. Psychologically, exercise reduces stress and improves mood by triggering the release of endorphins, which act as the body's natural painkillers. Regular exercise also boosts self-confidence and mental alertness while alleviating depression.

Rituals in sports are repetitive activities believed to lead to certain results, while superstitions are rigid behaviors perceived to have a positive effect. The document then explores athletes' rituals and superstitions, how they relate to internal vs. external locus of control, and perceived benefits like increased performance and reduced stress. Some athletes may be more prone to superstitions if they lack self-confidence or experience high pre-match tension. Everyday routines can also become ritualistic for athletes. The document addresses potential consequences like distraction or over-reliance on rituals, and limitations
Sports psychology is the study of how psychology influences sports performance. Some sports psychologists work with athletes to improve performance and increase motivation. Key aspects of sports psychology include awareness, focus, concentration, anxiety, confidence, and motivation. Maintaining awareness and using proper concentration techniques can optimize an athlete's performance. Both state and trait anxiety can negatively affect performance if not properly managed. Successful athletes focus on their task in the present moment rather than fearing failure. Motivation influences an athlete's effort, ability to overcome setbacks, and overall competition results.

ORIGINAL:
Before taking this class, I never realized how important and beneficial it would be for an athlete's to directly work with a sport psychologist. Many athletes might be experiencing some type of anxiety before performing or depression as a result of losing games or not performing as expected. Both anxiety and depression should be addressed with the help of a professional to help them not only physically but also mentally. Moreover, according to the author, another symptom that should be treated by a professional if experienced is lethargy, which "may prevent sports participants from training" (Williams, J. & Krane, V., 2021). This symptom can lead athletes to experience negative effects on their technical and decision-making skills.
Furthermore, the book talks about many different areas that can potentially affect performance. For example, I never considered that the athlete's sexual orientation, eating disorders, or use of alcohol or other substances (for performance purposes or as a result of peer pressure and acceptance) could affect their performance. Moreover, romantic and family relationships, as well as anger and aggression control, can also affect athletes psychologically and result in chronic stress. Chronic stress can make athletes become distracted from their objectives and, as Cooks-Campbell wrote, "lead to harmful mental and physical health issues" ( Cooks-Campbell, 2022). Therefore, having a multidisciplinary team of professionals would add great value as they would help overcome any of these issues as well as assist them with their body Image, overtraining problems, and physical injuries. I look forward to seeing how the sports psychology field continues to conduct more studies.

I agree that as a sport psychologist helping an athlete come up with strategies to help combat their anxiety before a competition or depression after losing a game is highly important to building up their mental toughness. Williams and Krane (2021) discussed how building a trusting relationship with their athlete is instrumental to helping them achieve peak performance and strong mentalities, as well as when issues outside of their realm of expertise arise where they may need to refer their athlete to a specialized counselor.

This document discusses strategies for managing stress as a student. It suggests getting enough exercise, sleep, and nutrition to keep physical habits healthy. Finding spirituality or a mentor can provide relief from stress. While partying in moderation is okay, excessive partying can cause problems. Joining student groups provides perspective and purpose beyond individual academics. The key is managing stress levels by scheduling workouts, rest, and social activities alongside schoolwork.
Leah is interested in a career in sports psychology. Sports psychologists help athletes and exercisers maintain their mental health and peak performance. They assist with enhancing performance, coping with pressures, and recovering from injuries. An education such as a master's degree is required, and sports psychologists work for teams, universities, hospitals, and in private practice. Leah's interests and skills match well with this career, and she is considering graduate programs in sports psychology at UNC-Greensboro, Georgia Southern University, and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

The document is a senior paper arguing that sports are beneficial to high school students. It outlines several key benefits, including that sports promote a healthier lifestyle, build self-confidence, teach respect, develop responsibility, and can improve academic performance. Participating in high school athletics exposes students to an environment that provides important life skills and lessons that contribute to their development and success.
Collegiate athletics can have both positive and negative impacts on student-athletes. Positively, research shows student-athletes often have higher graduation rates than non-athletes due to improved time management, motivation to succeed, and a sense of community. Participating in sports can also help develop skills that lead to success in future careers. However, the demanding schedule can also negatively impact mental health by increasing stress, and physical health by raising injury risks. While stereotypes suggest student-athletes have academic advantages, research finds they often cluster in popular majors due to scheduling needs, not lower standards. Overall, both the benefits and challenges of collegiate athletics should be acknowledged.
Every athlete at some time during their athletic career has experiBetseyCalderon89
Every athlete at some time during their athletic career has experienced a physical injury that holds them back from partaking in the sport that they love, if it's from practice or competitive play it's a thing every athlete in the world wishes they could prevent. Even if you have been fortunate enough to train without a critical injury, all things considered, you know somebody who has had a physical injury that requires quite some time of professional rehabilitation before they can get back to training. These injuries and rehabilitation are regularly joined by abiding mental consequences, affecting the competitors' prosperity just as their probability of getting back to the sport. An anticipated result indicated that athletes with a high internal locus of control tend to recover faster than others. There is a fine line between being psychologically ready to return to a sport and being physically cleared for athletes with injuries. Some individuals possess specific personality traits that can forecast one's rate of psychological and physical recovery from an injury. This paper will elucidate the correlation between injuries' effect on mental health and the psychological health of an athlete.
When athletes at any level face an injury, it puts them in a dilemma on how to face adversity; the athlete either chooses to overcome and grow or fold and eventually wash out of the sport. When one experiences an injury, there is a tendency that the athlete will have more of a negative than positive impact on one's psyche. Athletes have tended to use various negative terms (e.g., anger, bitterness, confusion, depression, fear, frustration, helplessness, shock) to characterize their emotions after injury (W. Brewer, 2017). Evidence shows that athletes who report higher levels of emotional disturbance after sustaining an injury than before being injured and that athletes with injury tend to report higher levels of emotional disturbance than athletes without injury (M. Rice, 2016).
Relationship Between Stress and Injury
Stress is a broad term; many underlying factors come into play, such as anxiety and depression. Furthermore, when stress (psychological, academic, training, or performance-related) overloads an athlete's stress-coping ability, the susceptibility to performance decrement increases, as does the risk of injury and illness (J. Hamlin, 2019). Those who have a high-stress factor in their life are more likely to be prone to injury. When looking at stress-based injuries, there are two factors: muscle tension and attentional disruption. Attentional changes may include increased muscle tension, narrowing of the visual field, and increased distractibility, which may have a negative impact on the stress-injury response (L. Lavallee, 2019). A notable example to best relate to is Anderson and Williams stress injury model. According to this model, personality, coping resources, and history of stress have impacted competitors’ reaction to distressing at ...

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.
Student athletes at Georgia Tech face stereotypes and discrimination. They are assumed to be "dumb jocks" who major in easy subjects like business just to stay eligible for sports. However, many student athletes major in difficult subjects like engineering and have high grade point averages. They must balance a rigorous academic schedule with long hours of practice each day. While some teachers acknowledge the challenges student athletes face, others openly dislike athletes. To address this issue, student athletes propose organizing events to help their peers better understand their commitments and accomplishments both athletically and academically.
The document provides information about a stress reduction program called WESAP for employees of BMC Software.

This study examined award-winning athletes' perceptions of coaching behavior and psychological factors that influence their sports performance. The study surveyed 49 athletes and 9 coaches from a state university in the Philippines. Results showed that coaching style and mental toughness had the greatest positive impact on athletic performance, while anxiety had a slight negative effect. There was little difference between how coaches and athletes rated coaching behaviors like motivation and communication skills. Coaching style was found to be the strongest predictor of athletic achievement over other psychological variables. The study concluded coaching behaviors and mental toughness significantly influence athletes' performance, and qualitative research should further explore other performance-related factors.
Sport psychology is a subfield of psychology that deals with how psychological factors affect sports performance and how participation in sports affects psychological and physical well-being. It involves applying psychological knowledge and skills to optimize athlete and sports team performance as well as exercise, physical activity, and sports participation. Sport psychologists help athletes enhance performance, cope with competitive pressure and stress, and maintain mental wellness. They work with athletes of all levels from youth to professional/Olympic levels.
Female athletes are at an increased risk of developing eating disorders due to pressures to fit an unrealistic body mold. Fallon Spriggs, a softball player at SUNY New Paltz, developed bulimia and anorexia due to constantly worrying about her appearance and weight. She felt trapped by the expectation to look like her teammates. Katie Rutcofsky, another SUNY New Paltz softball player, also struggled with body image issues that led to an eating disorder after gaining weight in her freshman year of college. National Eating Disorder Awareness works to advocate for those affected by eating disorders and improve education to diminish the ongoing issue among female athletes.

1. Stress is almost inevitable for
college students, but student
athletes seem to endure
more stress than normal.
2. “While it’s not clear whether the source of challenges to student-athlete
mental well being is the same as those non-athletes face, collegiate athletes
are known to encounter unique stressors that the general population
doesn’t have to deal with, such as time demands, relationships with coaches,
and missed scheduled classes,” the NCAA stated on their official website.
3. Ryan Larkin, an athletic trainer for the Men’s Tennis
and Women’s Soccer Teams at DU hears these
stresses expressed by athletes on a regular basis.
4. “The mentality to overcome
physical stress leads to other
stresses, whether it’s
pressure to perform in the
classroom or on the playing
field, athletes definitely have
to deal with a lot,” Ryan
Larkin explained.
5. Pressure to perform on
the field as well as the
classroom are only a few
stress factors of a
student-athletes everyday
life.
6. Adding the weight room and
conditioning practices to student-
athlete schedules can either
relieve or create stress says Gary
Boros, the Assistant Sports
Performance Coach at DU.
7. “We understand that not everyone likes or wants to
lift weights, but we have to push our athletes out of
their comfort zones and make them do things they are
uncomfortable with. This alone can force other
stresses on top of whatever else they have going on,”
said Gary Boros.
8. Having a balanced diet adds
to the stress of being a
college athlete, says
sophomore Cristiana
Behnken.
9. “It’s like a domino effect. If you
don’t have a full night of sleep, you
don’t wake up to eat. So then you
get to practice with no energy and
barely stay awake in your classes,”
says Cristiana Behnken.
10. Keeping up with social pressures of
“college life” can also add various
stress to student-athletes.
11. According to a survey that the NCAA
conducted in 2014, 44 percent of
male athletes and 33 percent of
female athletes said that they had
drank excessively in the past 12
months.
