Under The Drive Theory Summary Analysis

1152 Words5 Pages

In this psychological skill training exercise, I want to develop a method to examine the effects of optimal arousal and mental imagery on my ability to improve upon my existing maximum bench press of a ten-pound barbell by at least ten pounds. Based on past research studies and the materials that I have learned, arousal can be derived both physiologically and psychologically and falls along a continuum, which ranges from “not at all aroused to completely aroused.” Under the Drive Theory, this continuum represents the effects of how an increase in arousal level leads to a subsequent increase in performance. Therefore, I believe that an optimal level of arousal could lead to more motivation, and thus have a positive influence my weightlifting …show more content…

I also limited my imagery session to less than 10 minutes because the material shows that most people tend to lose their concentration in a prolonged period of time, which might decrease the effects of imagery. First, I wanted to try imagery from an internal perspective, where I visualize myself lifting a barbell from my own vantage point, because it helps me understand the movements from a kinesthetic sense. I also went into a quiet room so I could be alone and limited external distraction. Then, I laid down on a mat and lifted my arms over my head like I was lifting a barbell. I chose to do the motions rather than just lying down because I thought it would help me practice the movement and make the feelings more vivid and realistic. While I am engaging in this positive imagery exercise, I pictured myself looking up and seeing how my joints and muscles moved in sync with my mind. I could feel how my back arched and my shoulders stretched as I lifted the barbell above my head. I also felt the weights being transferred forward and could head the sound of the mental weights clicking against each together. As I repeat this image in my mind, I was mostly focused on the intricate skills associated with the performance. After I finish my ten-minute session, I felt very energized and confident about my skillset. I went into the weightlifting room and attempted a five-pound weight increase on my previous ten-pound barbell. While I could lower the bar, I was unsuccessful in lifting it up and pressing it against my chest to complete the entire movement. I reverted back to the ten-pound barbell and completed about 25 bench pressures before leaving the gym. While I did not increase my weight, I felt very confident in my ability to improve and I thought my weightlifting session

Jennifer Vogelgesang Blake explains that because all the human muscular system is linked together, even the accessory workouts outside the three key lifts will ultimately lead to lifting heavier weights no matter what kind of lift you're doing. Another key feature of JVB's system is the incorporation of biofeedback. Any trainer will tell you two contradictory things: that you have to push your limits to improve and that if you overload yourself, you may destroy your body. It's a difficult balancing act that the conscious mind has a hard time pulling off.

It would be suggested that the imagery sessions were designed as part of a daily routine over the course of several weeks. At least once a day the player would find a quiet place to relax and use the imagery intervention. The physical component of the PETTLEP model might include imagining how the body feels while at bat. This would include the sensation of motor skills, but also things such as sweat and breathing. Next, the player would want to imagine environmental influences where the act is to be carried out, in this case it might be the baseball field and stadium.

In the book Drive by Daniel Pink, argues that carrots and sticks (motivation 2.0) don’t work anymore, we have inhale psychological need for autonomy, mastery, and purpose (motivation 3.0). Motivation 1.0 was about survival, and in motivation 2.0 was built around external rewards and punishments.

Incentive Motivation – Believes that behavior is influenced through external goals or rewards. These help to bring out specific behavior. Arousal Theory – When arousal is too low, we become bored. When it is too high, we seek to reduce it. A balance is needed from this and it varies from person to person.

As a basketball coach, I would use the five types of imagery, such as visual, kinesthetic, auditory, olfactory imagery, and tactical imagery to help my athletes visualize their competition surroundings before an event. This type of visualization would enhance the performance, affect, and thought of my athletes by allowing them to visualize the fans, signage, technology, and culture. However, in a situation where my athletes and I would have to play an away game against a rival team, I would use visual and kinesthetic imagery by watching a video of the opposing team before the competition, as well as practice the opposing team’s movements to beat them. Nonetheless, in a situation where my team and I would be down by more than 10 points in the

As contained in the guidelines of the assignment I must participate in the activity for 30 minutes and record my results. For this, I decided to go through a chest workout which is my favorite weight training workout. Like any other workout, I take about 10-15 minutes to properly warm up by doing what 's called a dynamic warm-up. A dynamic warm-up gets me focused on what 's to come and it also helps mitigate the risk of injury while lifting. Before this workout, I was very stressed about all of the studying I have to do before the term is over.
