Title	Effects of psychological skill training on anxiety levels among division I female soccer athletes
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2012
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Sport psychology is a field that many individuals in athletics use on a daily basis, and is beginning to become a commonly accepted valued addition to an athlete or team; training and preparation. The importance of sport psychology relating to athletic performance, as well as the prevalence within athletic training shows that sport psychology should be examined as a priority when relating to athletes. Another aspect that relates to athletics is that of anxiety. Specifically in sports, anxiety has been found to impact performance, so it is important to review what interventions can help lower anxiety levels within the athletic population. The main purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of the psychological skill training (PST) of goal setting and mental imagery on anxiety levels during different stages of the season among Division 1 female soccer athletes. Participants included the members of the Central Connecticut State University Division 1 female soccer team, ages varying from 17-22 years old (N=21). During the beginning of preseason, participants completed a self-confidence questionnaire, anxiety questionnaires, and demographic information. Athletes met with a sport psychology consultant at Central Connecticut State University, once every two weeks, for approximately 30-60 minutes over the course of the season to be trained in the psychological skills of goal setting and mental imagery. The current study demonstrated that psychological skill training of mental imagery and goal setting helped lower anxiety, both state and trait anxiety, as well as cognitive and somatic levels in division 1 female soccer athletes. Future studies could examine a more rigid PST intervention with the hopes of greater changes in anxiety levels
