In general, performance may be enhanced through the                teaching of mental strategies that either refine the practices of                effective performers or help other performers overcome obstacles                that prevent them from reaching their potential.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;deal with the pressures of competition.<br \/>\nAthletes at all levels seek help in dealing with the pressures of                competition. Such pressures may stem from parental and\/or coach                expectations as well as the athlete&#8217;s own expectations regarding                performance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;enhance the experience of youth sport participation.<br \/>\nYouth sport organizations may employ a sport psychology professional                to educate coaches about how to increase the satisfaction and enjoyment                of participants and about the coaches&#8217; role in promoting the development                of healthy self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;get psychological assistance with injury rehabilitation.<br \/>\nPeople with injuries may seek assistance with adjusting to non-participant                status, adhering to physical therapy, tolerating pain, or other                issues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;assist with an exercise program.<br \/>\nPeople who want to exercise regularly may work with a sport psychology                professional to increase their motivation and help with other issues                related to exercise adherence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;receive guidance in dealing with life.<br \/>\nConcerns with personal problems can adversely effect exercise and                athletic performance. People often find that counseling helps to                put things in perspective and allows for greater satisfaction in                life, career transition, and time management.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>2. What is Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing                (EMDR)?<br \/>\n&#8220;When someone experiences a psychological trauma, it appears                that an imbalance may occur in the nervous system, caused perhaps                by changes in neurotransmitters, adrenaline, and so forth. Due to                this imbalance, the information-processing system is unable to function                optimally and the information acquired at the time of the event,                including images, sounds, affect and physical sensations, is maintained                neurologically in its disturbed state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;EMDR seems to have a direct effect                on the way that the brain functions. Normal information processing is resumed, so following a successful                EMDR session the images, sounds and feelings no longer are relived when                the event is brought to mind. What happened is still remembers but is less                upsetting.&#8221;                (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; Basic Principles,                Protocols                and Procedures. Francine Shapiro, 2001).<\/p>\n<p>Changes from EMDR often involve more than one                session. Depending on the level of trauma and other factors affecting                the client. A few sport examples of how EMDR can be a useful process                for athletes includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Allows the baseball\/softball player who was hit by an errant                  pitch focus on reading the pitch instead                  of stepping away from the plate in fear of being hit each time                  an inside pitch is thrown.<\/li>\n<li>Gives the tennis player who holds the memory of having a big                  lead against a highly seeded player and then &#8220;freezes&#8221;                  and loses the match, renewed confidence that he\/she can get ahead                  in matches and close them out.<\/li>\n<li>Helps the basketball player who has been experiencing                  performance anxiety and avoiding taking shots ever since the game                  he\/she missed the 3 pointer that would have put the team into                  overtime.<\/li>\n<li>Helps the football player who has been side-lined with an injury for two months to return to competition after healing .\u00a0 EMDR treatment can be useful in resolving residual emotional trauma that resulted from the initial injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"3\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>3. What is biofeedback?<br \/>\n&#8220;Biofeedback is a self-regulation technique in which auditory                or visual feedback provides information about biological functions                not usually available to a person&#8217;s awareness\u2026&#8221; (Psychology                of Sport Injury. John Heil, 1993). &#8220;Commonly used measures                include muscular activity, skin response, peripheral temperature,                respiration rate, heart rate and brain wave activity. Timely and                precise feedback of fluctuations increase the persons awareness                of the specific circumstances and behaviors that lead to change.&#8221;                (Biofeedback-Assisted Self Regulation for Stress Management in Sports.                Leonard D. Zaichkowsky and C. Zvi Fuchs, 1993).<\/p>\n<p>Biofeedback training is more effective in combination                with cognitive training, progressive relaxation and imagery rehearsal                skills. Biofeedback can be helpful to athletes who experience psychological                and in turn physiological stress which creates high levels of muscular                tension resulting in poor performances. It is also a helpful tool                for injured athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The acquired skill of lowering psychological stress                enables the athlete to control the level of muscular tension which                may be associated with competitive stress or anxiety. The physiological                use of biofeedback increases the athletes ability to perform by                reducing cardiovascular and respiratory stress and increasing muscular                flexibility.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.susanzaro.com\/?page_id=1332\">Read more about Susan&#8217;s Biofeedback services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"4\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>4. What is Visualization?<br \/>\nVisualization is a term which refers to vividly creating or                recalling an experience in the mind. The athlete makes use of all                of the senses: touch, hearing, sight, smell and even taste to create                and control the mental image.<\/p>\n<p>Similar names for this process are mental rehearsal,                imagery and mental practice. The process involves training the athlete                to put together pieces of information and shape stored memories                into meaningful images.<\/p>\n<p>A few athletic uses of visualization training                are to improve concentration, develop control in pressure situations,                practice sport skills movement and strategies, cope with pain or                injury.<\/p>\n<p>Visualization is another useful tool to establish                a mind\/body connection while reinforcing physical skills and movement.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"5\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>5. What is Sport Science Anyway? (In some of the categories listed below Susan primarily works in the area of tennis.)<br \/>\nSport Science encompasses a number of different disciplines including sport medicine, biomechanics, motor learning, sport psychology, nutrition and exercise physiology. All the sport sciences play a part in the development of athletes. The following are brief definitions of each of the sport sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Sport psychology: includes the mental side of sport and encompasses the study of human behavior within the sport setting.<\/p>\n<p>Sport medicine: includes the treatment and prevention of athletic injuries and rehabilitation. (See section on sport injury program).<\/p>\n<p>Sport biomechanics: deals with the analysis of human movements and forces including the analysis of proper and improper stroke mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>Motor learning: studies changes in movement behavior because of practice or experience and deals with the process by which the human body learns movements and both basic and complex tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Sport nutrition: the study of the utilization of food substances during physical activity.<\/p>\n<p>Sport physiology: involves the study of the systems of\u00a0 body functions and specifically adaptation during exercise.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>6.\u00a0 Do I need to be a &#8220;serious athlete&#8221;                to benefit from the competitive excellence\/peak performance services                that you offer?<br \/>\nNo. You only need to be &#8220;serious&#8221; about your interest                in working to establish goals and learning and applying strategies to effectively                incorporate the tools into your athletic program.<\/p>\n<p>There needs to be a willingness to take an experiential                vs. an intellectual approach to learning. At times people are adept                at intellectualizing the concepts but do not spend enough structured                time purposefully practicing the techniques.<\/p>\n<p>There is a need to be somewhat self-observant                and open to trying some simple new ideas. The convenience of developing                a competitive excellence\/peak performance program is that frequently,                people I work with report they are able to apply the learning to                other areas of their life. Many clients they                notice their focus improves in their professional life, academic                pursuits and other activities.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"7\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>7.\u00a0 What are the ages of the athletes you work                with?<br \/>\nThe programs work best with athletes twelve years and older.                Typically the earliest that I begin work with athletes is age twelve                and this is usually through the programs where groups                of young athletes are introduced to the basics of competitive excellence\/peak performance.<\/p>\n<p>The techniques taught in these programs are defined                by the experience level and age of the group.<\/p>\n<p>There is a growing population of senior athletes                with whom I work. I have the pleasure of working with player&#8217;s in                their seventies. It is wonderful that this segment of the population                have leagues and other arenas in which to compete. It is fun to                work with senior athletes who are continuing to look for opportunities to develop &#8220;an                edge&#8221; over their competition.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"8\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>8. How is this program helpful to someone who                has labeled themselves or have been labeled by others as a &#8220;head                case?&#8221;<br \/>\nIn my experience &#8220;head case syndrome&#8221; is learned behavior.                A &#8220;head case syndrome&#8221; occurs when a player links a thought                to an unsuccessful behavior. A combination of this linking process                coupled with the &#8220;incubation&#8221; within the player&#8217;s identity                with the sport, escalates to a point where the athlete begins to                expect &#8220;failure&#8217; as a natural outcome.<\/p>\n<p>At times even when a player experiences outcomes                quite differently, even a successful outcome when they expect failure,                the successful outcome doesn&#8217;t register within their overall experience                of ability. The success becomes labeled as a &#8220;fluke.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are zillions of variations to the stories                an athlete shares when describing their version of &#8220;head case                syndrome.&#8221; Many of which explain how this unflattering and                extremely unhelpful label was bestowed upon them.<\/p>\n<p>A common one is that the athlete had been taught                poor technique while learning their sport and made errors because                his\/her technique didn&#8217;t match the requirements of the sport. The                player became discouraged by his\/her seemingly lack of athletic                ability. Coaches and parents are often catalysts to a child believing he\/she has failed.<\/p>\n<p>Adults who become involved in sports later in                life frequently begin their athletic activities with a critical                gremlin in their heads. The voice of the gremlin is overly critical                concerning their perceived athletic skills and abilities, as well                as a fixation on why they should be better or will never be better                etc.<\/p>\n<p>The gremlin voice frequently occurs in adults                who at some point in their childhood development experienced a unsatisfactory                sport experience. This may have been perpetuated by a demanding                coach that expected the child to know and perform at a level of                sophistication that the child was not developmentally ready to handle.<\/p>\n<p>Or the child as a product of overzealous parents                that wished for a sports star and the parents would be visibly disappointed                when the child didn&#8217;t perform up to their hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n<p>The stories are endless. The good news though                is that Sports Health Counseling services and programs address some                of the baggage an athlete may be lugging around and breakthrough                the mental obstacles to &#8220;unlearn&#8221; the unhelpful stories.<\/p>\n<p>There are no magical cures to the process. It                takes time, conscious effort, commitment, discipline, trial and                error and more importantly patience. As the athlete replaces the                old stories with new observations and results he\/she progressively                come into a new positive experience in assuming their sport identity.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"9\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to list                of FAQs<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>9.
