As a psych major it was really cool to see the crossover between what I learn in other classes and this class. The mind is such an important part of athletic training and overall physical health.
This definitely makes sense! When I played tennis I felt like I had high energy, but also high anxiety especially when watched by others and so then I performed worse so I told my mom to move where she sat out of my line of sight so I couldn't tell she was watching me, I felt less anxious, and was able to perform better. Thank you!
I totally experienced the effects of the complexity of the task when training for water polo! It is also so interesting how individualized arousal can be.
Competitions increased the levels of stress and anxiety in many athletes, its extremely important that as a TAs we are able to assist them emotionally. Having a clear mind can allows the athlete to perform better and decrease their risks of injuries.
I think the components of the "ideal performance state" are super crucial for every athlete to develop. Each one of those components serves to enhance the focus and performance of an athlete no matter the situation they are in. Being able to enter a different mindset for big games/competitions will give that athlete the edge over the competitor.
I find sport psychology to be very interesting and it is amazing to me how one can train the mind when they are playing and how much it can affect an athletes ability to perform well in their sport!
It made sense to learn that simple skills can have greater degrees of arousal. I like your example of hitting in football practice to bring this concept into perspective.
I found this to be a very interesting topic! I never thought about how there would be an ideal range of arousal and how it could be perceived as either a good thing or anxiety.
So interesting to learn about all of the theories! I definitely resonate with some thinking back to my sports days! Excited to dive more into how our mindset can change how we view our circumstances and stresses!
As someone who’s always had bad anxiety and stress in pretty much every situation that comes with being in school, it was super interesting to hear and listen to you explain certain aspects of that here.
It is interesting to see that too much arousal can lead to a decrease in performance. I can remember times where I got too hyped for a set, then performed way worse than the previous week.
Something I see in baseball a lot is someone being great in performance in practice when it is not stressful, but in game they struggle to perform the same. This explained anxiety of performance well.
This video was so fascinating! I personally noted a difference in perceived stress pre and post concussion in my own sport. Prior to concussions I had eustress and thrived under pressure and post concussion I experienced more anxiety. The drive theory was true before, and complicated after concussion. This is an area, especially reversal theory, I would love to look into more!
I find it very interesting how big a roll stress and anxiety have on sports and exercise and can directly relate this to my everyday life. I feel my movements can tend to be sluggish if I have a big test coming up.
The idea of all these theories regarding arousal and its effect on performance is very interesting. I wonder what the best athletes think when they are performing.
I really liked the breakdown chart of states of arousal. I did not know that there were different types of anxiety until this video. It was also interesting to learn about the different theories such as drive theory and inverted U theory.
I really like how you addressed the "flow state." This is something that I have realized is so important for athletic performance and skill as utilizing the power of our subconscious is very useful.
the idea of arousal in athletic events is so interesting! When I was playing sports, I feel like the crowd causes my arousal to be on the higher end and that allowed me to focus and be locked in for what I was suppose to be doing. You say that it may not be good for you to be to the extreme because this can be a sign of uncontrollable arousal which can be detrimental to an athletes performance.
Stress and anxiety are often talked about in relation to physical performance, but the idea of arousal and how much arousal a person is experiencing, and how that effects performance was new to me.
I used to have this problem so bad when I first started football in middle school. Anytime I knew or felt like i was going to score a touchdown. I would get so worked up I would throw up sometimes.
It was interesting to learn about cognitive and somatic anxiety and how it breakdowns the psychological component and the physical component with how we react.
I've experienced the "flow state" mentioned a few times, and it's so cool! I wonder if different instances of neurodivergence can increase or decrease the chances of this happening.
I think this was a really important video because stress, anxiety and arousal have such a large impact on sports and exercise. I also found the theories to be very interesting!
I thought it was interesting the correlation between stress levels and performance levels in the drive theory. Most due to the fact that anxiety is a subcategory to arousal and that it can actually benefit you
The reversal theory was an interesting contrast, it's quite fascinating to see how there are differences within athletes on how their "ready for performance" won't always all look the same; they diff cause we all have different mindsets
In highschool, I played baseball and I would get those moments of anxiety and arousal and its nice to understand he psychology behind it. Very interesting.
I always knew that stress and anxiety were always a big point on physical performance but learning about arousal was new to me when it came to how it effects performance
I think it's important to understand that every athlete will be different and everyone can have a different level of arousal or anxiety that can affect their performance.
The theories were really interesting to learn about! I think it is so interesting how individualized the presentation of stress is to athletes. Sometimes it's enhancing and sometimes it's prohibiting!
I think that it is interesting that there are different kinds of stress. I think its weird to think about there being a positive form of stress because for me I constantly feel stressed, but not in a good way lol.
This was interesting!! I can also see how arousal my benefit some sports compared to others. For ballet which I used to do, I would have to be relatively calm and focused in order to succeed or not mess up, however the performance rush (or arousal you could say) always kicked in and was beneficial to help me be expressive and engaged with the audience.
Reversal theory is so interesting--it makes a lot of sense why getting too excited and/or nervous can cause a decrease in athletic performance--especially for introverts like myself.
I thought the difference between trait and arousal anxiety were interesting. But super important to differentiate because it was confusing for me at first. Trait anxiety is your anxiety disorder, while state anxiety is something threatening or nerve racking throughout your normal day.

I liked the examples you gave of arousal and how different skills being implemented will change the level of arousal in a situation.
I really like how you addressed the "flow state." This is something that I have realized is so important for athletic performance and skill as utilizing the power of our subconscious is very useful.
The inverted-U theory charts were beneficial in understanding how arousal and anxiety levels can effect performance.
Really cool to see all the different subsets of anxiety broken down, never realized how complex it could be.
It is interesting to learn how stress and anxiety can be positive.

Very interesting to learn about catastrophy theory and that there is name for when people get anxious at high stress events.
Yoo I’ve never heard of the “flow state” or ideal performance state, sounds like a super power almost!
I used to have this problem so bad when I first started football in middle school. Anytime I knew or felt like i was going to score a touchdown. I would get so worked up I would throw up sometimes.
It is interesting how psychological factors play into sports performance.

Great video, great way to simplify things 🙏🏽
Great video once again. I hadn't really thought about the fact that there would be differences between introverted and extroverted athletes. So cool!
Loving the bloopers! I never knew that one can be too aroused that they actually can't get done what they were trying to do! Very interesting!
It was interesting to learn about good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress).
In highschool, I played baseball and I would get those moments of anxiety and arousal and its nice to understand he psychology behind it. Very interesting.
I find it interesting how arousal is connected to how many things you have to think about.
I always knew that stress and anxiety were always a big point on physical performance but learning about arousal was new to me when it came to how it effects performance
I think it's important to understand that every athlete will be different and everyone can have a different level of arousal or anxiety that can affect their performance.
"Not that kind of arousal." -Dr. Goodin 2021
I had to be specific since this goes out to primarily 20 year olds...
I found the arousal theories very interesting. I feel like when my arousal levels are high my performance decreases and vice versa
I didn't know that anxiety was broken down like that until now!
Stress and anxiety are so prevalent but I didn't know it was a subcategory of arousal! Very interesting
The theories were really interesting to learn about! I think it is so interesting how individualized the presentation of stress is to athletes. Sometimes it's enhancing and sometimes it's prohibiting!
I am interested to learn more about the reversal theory, and how perceiving anxiety differently can affect sport performance.
I like the term flow state, it reminds me a lot like being in a rythm or getting hot.
I never knew that anxiety was a subcategory of arousal that is a negatively perceived emotional state. Super interesting!
I honestly never knew there were two different kinds of anxiety but that makes sense how one affects the mind and the other is the body.
I think that it is interesting that there are different kinds of stress. I think its weird to think about there being a positive form of stress because for me I constantly feel stressed, but not in a good way lol.
“Not that kind of arousal”. Hahaha I’m definitely holding you to that quote Goodin.
This was interesting!! I can also see how arousal my benefit some sports compared to others. For ballet which I used to do, I would have to be relatively calm and focused in order to succeed or not mess up, however the performance rush (or arousal you could say) always kicked in and was beneficial to help me be expressive and engaged with the audience.
Reversal theory is so interesting--it makes a lot of sense why getting too excited and/or nervous can cause a decrease in athletic performance--especially for introverts like myself.
The whole time I was watching this I was trying to figure out which theory I fit into the most when I used to play baseball.
This is truly amazing content
Thank you!
I thought the difference between trait and arousal anxiety were interesting. But super important to differentiate because it was confusing for me at first. Trait anxiety is your anxiety disorder, while state anxiety is something threatening or nerve racking throughout your normal day.
Great video ✨ thanks a lot from india
Fantastic
Hey coach can you explain in detail about fractionalization and segmentation
Stress can be negative or positive (distress and eustress).
I didn't know that arousal anxiety and anxiety are pretty different from each other.
Does anxiety or stress have that big of an impact on performance?
Anxiety is a negative subcategory of arousal
