Playing with confidence: The relationship between imagery use and self-confidence and self-efficacy in youth soccer players, Journal of sports science, December 2008 Introduction The definition of imagery is “an experience that mimics real experiences” (White & hardy, 1998, p. 389). Imagery is a topic that has been immensely researched predominately with elite sports stars. Most of this imagery research has been conducted on adults but there have been only a small number of studies based on youth athletes. According to recent research carried out on 7-14 year olds by Munroe-Chandler, Hall, Fishburne and Strachan (2007) and Munroe-Chandler, Hall, Fishburne, O and Hall (2007), these athletes have reported that using imagery does make a difference. …show more content…

The scientists decided to use Paivios analytic framework as they felt it would best suit the participants. The model results in there being 5 different outcomes, Cognitive General (CG), Cognitive Specific (CS), Motivational Specific (MS) Motivational General Mastery (MG-M) and Motivational General Arousal (MG-A). The scientists found that there were two cognitions that can be derived from the model, self-confidence and self-efficacy. After further research they found that self-confidence and self-efficacy were actually very different from each other. They found that self-confidence was seen in the participants that rated their own ability at soccer was superior to the rest. Self-efficacy on the other hand was seen in the participants that were extremely confident in their ability to do a specific task with in the game, ex. A pass or a shot. Martin et al suggested that “imagery can serve multiple functions and the imagery employed should match the intended outcomes”, with further research into the topic the researchers found the link between imagery and the outcomes which in turn increases …show more content…

Implicit theories were measured by an adaptation to Carol Dweck’s Theories of Intelligence Scale (Dweck, 1999). Participants were asked to rate themselves on a series of eight questions to determine their implicit theory toward athletics. Based on their answers, participants were identified as having a growth mindset (e.g., “No matter who you are, you can significantly change your athletic ability.”) or a fixed mindset (e.g., “Your athletic ability is something about you that you can’t change very much.”). The mindset scale had a Cronbach’s alpha of .940. Participants were also assessed on their helplessness behavior (e.g., “You prefer to play teams that you know you are very likely to beat.”).

Introduction: Gymnastic can be a scary sport and that is why in order to be successful, athlets have to be able to deal with isuses such as outside distraction, fear and anxiety, in an effective way. Those are pretty much everyday issues for a gymnast and controling them is a important task especially since there is a potential risk in overcoming the athlete`s levels of self-confidence, motivation and performance. The gymnastic coach task is not only to provide the gymnasts with the physical tools necessary for succes ,but also the mental tools that helps the athletes to handle both the cognitive and emotional challenges characteristic in competitive gymnastics. Mental imagery is one such tool which, if used properly, can positively affect skill development, arousal, motivation, and confidence (Gliksky, et al., 1996; Jones, et al., 2002; Nicholls, et al., 2005).

It is an evaluation of our control over our beliefs, values, attitudes, environment and behavior (Bandura, 1977, 1997). The focus on self in the sense of personal agency can be regarded as perceived self-efficacy (Bandura 1977, 1997) In social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986), people are seen as self organizing, proactive and self-regulating, rather than reactive and governed by external events. Self-regulation concerns how students regulate aspects of their thinking, motivation and behaviour during learning (Pintrich & Zusho, 2002).

The research question presented here talks about the collective effects of mental imagery and self-talk on motor performance in adolescents. It brings practical value and great interest to groups involved in sports, particularly in competitive and elite levels as the athletes seek to improve their performance by using such techniques. The age group used in this study is the adolescent group, which makes up most of the intermediate level, hence providing much wider inferences on athletes competing at this level rather than just the elite level (Cuba, 1997). The originality and theoretical worth of this paper, however lack as various past researchers like Dagrou, Gauvin, & Halliwell (1992); Taylor & Shaw (2002); Janssen & Sheikh (1994) have studied the effects of these cognitive techniques previously. Therefore, while the research question intends to investigate the interacting effects, its conclusion would not add a good deal of significance to the present conceptual frameworks and what sports psychologists/scientists may already know.

“In the U.S., about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year” claims Stanford Children’s Health. It’s definitely true that competitive sports can cause all sorts of injuries from big to small. The media teaches people simply that sports leads to horrific injuries and can cause stress, but what the mainstream media hardly discusses are the great benefits of competitive sports. While there may be some negatives to competitive sports, that’s just life, and to add on to that; there are plenty of benefits which are sure to override to media’s facts.

Thesis: Communication between coaches and their players and how their relationship effects their overall performance in athletics. Article 1 Communicative dimensions of the coach/ player relationship can have a profound impact on the self-esteem of the adolescent personality involved in sport activities. Assertiveness training is a part of standardized coaching clinics can be an important ingredient in improving the coach/player relationship. Wolf (1969), Lazarus (1971), and Rimm and Masters (1974) have demonstrated that aggressive behavior generally results from nonadaptive anxiety which inhibits the appropriate expression of assertive and effective communicative response in the individual.
