Dan Abrahams Talks About Sports Psychology In Football

Dan Abrahams Talks About Sports Psychology In Football | Sports and Performance Psychology | Scoop.it
Renowned sports psychologist, Dan Abrahams, says that the role of psychology in football can be crucial to making sure that players stay confident in games.
basiltweede's curator insight, September 6, 2015 11:04 PM

Yes I do wholeheartedly agree with Dan Abraham on this article as he stated that "the role of psychology in football can be crucial to making sure that players stay confident in games." Many people may disagree but if you actually took part in any sports and apply psychology technique to your game, you will see a tremendous improvement especially in the self-confidence department.

I was working out at the gym and noticed a college-aged guy doing a Dez Bryant-like ab workout - sit up after sit up... holding a plank position for several minutes. Impressive! I'm always interested in what motivates athletes, so I asked him what his inspiration was for doing such an intense workout. I expected him to answer that he was training for a sport and had to stay in great shape to play his best. - Sarah M. Whitman, MD, Philadelphia Philly.com
