Sports Psychology, The Fundamentals Of Coaching, And...

In my life thus far, the three most important learning experiences came from college-level learning/previous college classes. Those three classes were Sports Psychology, The Fundamentals of Coaching, and Multicultural Relations. In regards to personal growth, I feel that these experiences have shaped me into a more well rounded person in terms of athletics and personal qualities. In addition, these courses allowed me to acquire new information on each subject, engage in critical thinking, apply the information to actual situations, and demonstrate my knowledge on each subject. For the first learning experience, I chose to discuss Sports Psychology, which discussed several key points that I have used since taking the course and will use in the future. Some of the course objectives included: covering various psychological principles that are associated with sports, discussing psychological variables that can hinder athletic performance or enhance it, and illustrating numerous psychological techniques that can enhance athletic performance. The main goals were to apply the theories of psychology to real world situations in sports and to allow students to gain a better understanding of psychological techniques that may help them in the future, which can be applied to social situations as well as situations in sports setting. Personally, this class had such a huge impact on me because it gave me a foundation of psychology, in which I based my own athletic performance on.
