It is too late to upload 'Articulation' Sorry



1) My argument

Sport psychology is much more important than physical training

2) How I found my argument
 Usually I enjoy any kinds of sports and after learning psychology in english class, I tried hard to connect psychology, meaning human mind to sports. However, I've already known that there is a field of sport psychology but from that moment, I wanted to research about sport psychology and its effect.

3) New research questions
1. What is exact meaning of a field, sport psychology and what experts in that field study?
2. The psychological factors that has an influence on sports
3. How can athletes achieve higher goal by promoting psychological state?
4. The examples of athletes who get psychological therapy and its effects.
I will research some examples and the effect of sport psychology

4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler
 My argument is related to Harvard Sampler, especially human mind. However, there can be a difference between mind in HS and mind in my argument. I think it does not matter. Psychology(esp. sport psychology) deals with emotion and environment as well as min in HS.

The Introduction

1. The introduction

 

1) Attracts the audience.

 

For ordinary people, sport is fairly good means to be excited and healthy. However, for athletes, they also can be excited and healthy by playing sports, but their another aim is to win the game. Winning brings satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment for ordinary people, but professional athletes earn money, honor, and so on. Therefore sport has more crucial significance to athletes.

For winning the game, athletes need performance skills and fitness like physical abilities. It is a matter of course for them to have. That is why athletes exercise and build up their bodies. However, there is another requirement to win the match. It is psychology.

Recently, athletes and coaches are interested in sport psychology, for example, there is a special psychological expert team in sports powerhouse such as Europe or North America. The special team deals with psychological problem professionally. They check out athletes' mental states and teach them how to control the mentality, consulting them(Chung chung hee, 2006). Anyway the frequency of utilization and awareness of sport psychology are getting higher. I will explain more below.

 

2) Explains the topic.

 

I will deal with sport psychology. It is a study which finds out the reason why athlete can not show real ability and why this situation occurs sometimes. Also this study researches how to minimize the adverse or bad effects of psychology and sports psychologists produce programs according to the research result and adapt to the field(김병준 Kim byeung jun, 2002). The most important thing psychologists research is to develop the psychological skills and its programs(Chung chung hee, 2006). In sports psychology, there has been many researches which suggest the relationship between mental state and athletic performance. In competitive sports, athletes' mental state has much to do with athletic performance and these mental state is not limited by psychology, but a kind of technique like exercise technique and it is called psychological skill. Ultimately, I argue that psychological skill is also essential in playing sports as mush as physical ability.

3) Declares the thesis of your argument.

My thesis is ‘Sport psychology is much more important than physical training’ To be clearer, I revise the thesis: psychology has a great impact on sports as much as physical ability. This is because fitness and strength are indispensable factors in playing sports, so is psychology.

My Topic:
Sport psychology is much more important than physical training
 
What I hope to learn from this source:
I want more examples that athletes benefit from sport psychology.

Notes:

(There are few reports and news in English that highlight the importance of sport psychology and effects. I found some Korean articles and reports and I will use it here. However, I will write an essay in English. Don't worry.)

1. Sports require high concentration in competition. Therefore, athlete's mind has an influence on one's performance ability and result.  Kim byeong hyun(62) who has consulted many players for 30 years said sport psychology is a study to help athlete to maximize their ability.

2. There are five fields in sport psychology: control, learning, development, application, exercise psychology. Sport psychology which is normally used is application psychology. It studies mental state which should be fit to show excellent performance. It helps athletes to display their ability and maintain the best psychological state.

3. Jang Hana who is a woman professional golfer said,"I was suppressed to quite the golf but after consulting with Dr.Kim byeung hyun, I learn affirmation."

4.NEST Foundation opened a class for training sports mental coach. Dr.Kim said it is necessary to employ professional psychology coach in sport team to show their real ability.

Final Thoughts:
Reinforcement psychologically is important. It is as important as physical factor.
In korea, sport psychology should be developed like in Europe and USA.

Classical argument outline

 

1. The introduction, which warms up the audience, establishes goodwill and rapport with the readers, and announces the general theme or thesis of the argument.

 

 

I will start by explaining the definition of sport psychology. Then I will suggest several examples of successful therapies in these field. I will end with my thesis, “Psychology has a great impact on sports.”

    

 

 

2. The narration, which summarizes relevant background material, provides any information the audience needs to know about the environment and circumstances that produce the argument, and set up the stakes-what’s at risk in this question. In academic writing, this often takes the form of a literature review.

  

I will suggest some articles and reports written by professors who study sport psychology. It tells the role of psychology in sport and its effects. Also, I will explain the history of sport psychology development briefly.

    

 

 

3. The confirmation, which lays out in a logical order (usually strongest to weakest or most obvious to most subtle) the claims that support the thesis, providing evidence for each claim.

 

I will start by highlighting and elaborating the examples that I mentioned in Introduction, and emphasize the importance of psychology to athletes and their performances.

  

 

4. The refutation and concession, which looks at opposing viewpoints to the writer’s claims, anticipating objections from the audience, and allowing as much of the opposing viewpoints as possible without weakening the thesis.

If there is an objections that the athelte's performance ability is much more important than psychology, I will concede that the ability is necessary factor to do well in the match. However I will emphasize my opinion, 'Psychology has a great impact on sports' because psychology is not indispensable one but it makes effective results.

  
  

5. The summation, which provides a strong conclusion, amplifying the force of the argument, and showing the readers that this solution is the best at meeting the circumstances.

I will close with a summary of my previous points, then a brief consideration of practical usage of sport psychology. The purpose of my thesis is to announce and underscore my topic, so I will end my topic with several examples like Yuna Kim and Seunghoon Lee.

My Topic:
Sport psychology is much more important than physical training
 
What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to clarify the study of sports psychology and suggest an example.

Notes:

(There are few reports and news in English that highlight the importance of sport psychology and effects. I found some Korean articles and reports and I will use it here. However, I will write an essay in English. Don't worry.)

1. Lee seung hoon, a skater said  that he was suggested to have a psychological therapy. But is is not general in Korea. If athletes can have an aid in terms of controlling their mind, there will be a good effect to their performance ability.

2. Sport psychology is a study which research how an individual thinks and acts when playing sports. Exactly, it studies what effect athlete's thinking and action have on their personal performance and result.

3. Reinforcing psychologically is important as reinforcing physically. According to Dr.Becky, who studies in the university of Tennessee, USA, psychological reinforcement is important because the muscle is controlled by psychological factors. If a person is frustrated psychologically, the muscle can not perform as usual and it is probable to have an injure.

4. Of course, psychology can be controlled by physical fators. However, if an athlete is not ready both psychologically and physically, he or she can not achieve what one wants.


Final Thoughts:
Reinforcement psychologically is important. It is as important as physical factor.
In korea, sport psychology should be developed like in Europe and USA.
