SR-115 Sports Psychology 1Credits: 10 Session: 2013/14 Semester 2 (Jan - Jun Modular)Module Aims: The module will provide students with a basic understanding of the role of sport psychologyconsultants play when dealing with athletes. The consultation process between psychologist and athlete is introducedby examining theories of motivation, confidence, concentration, stress, arousal and anxiety. Personality, attitude, self-image and self-esteem are examined to help understand what makes each person unique. The module thus provides anessential base for progression to the level 2 module SR-218 Sports Psychology 2 where techniques for modifyingthese constructs are explored.Pre-requisite Modules:Co-requisite Modules:Incompatible Modules:Format: 10 hours lectures
