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.
