I am currently captivated by the literature surrounding Exercise Psychology at the elite level. Relating to the role of a sport psychologist or coach, all the while an athlete develops and prepares, such as through plans, imagery or mindfulness in the goal of attaining the state of flow; in which way could I best monitor positive affect and the meaning of the activity in relation to their self-esteem over-time? Is there a method or scale developed for determining wether and when passion becomes obsessive (OP) or harmonious (HP)? In which way could I determine and address occurrences of mental staleness and pre-competitive anxiety in the place of a flexible psychophysiological state? I wish to explore the ways a sport psychologist or coach may increase awareness and athletes’ ability to reach their Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) during competition.
Hello Alexandre
