If You're Ever Lost in the Outdoors!
If you're ever lost in the outdoors use the S.T.O.P. acronym (sit, think, observe, plan) to control panic. You'll know what I mean about panic if you've ever been in that situation. And, if you haven't been turned around and you spend any significant amount of time in the outdoors, then it's only a matter of time before you do know what I mean. Psychologists have studied this mental state and found that without a known reference point the mind will begin to race in order to find one and if not found quickly then panic sets in.

How Can Sports Psychology Help Athletes?
The question you need to ask yourself is this: Am I performing up to my capability? I'm sure you know some fellow athletes who have great talent or physical skills, but haven't played up to their potential. One of the myths athletes buy into is that you first must develop perfect technique or knowledge about ones sport before you can work on the so-called mental game. But, from my perspective, you cannot separate the mental from the physical when it comes to motor skills. Decisions, thoughts, images, and feelings set up each action you take. Sports psychology helps athletes develop confidence and focusing skills as they master the technical aspects of the game.
