What types of thoughts could cause anxiety that athletes need to be aware of?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF: <\/strong>Usually it&#8217;s a memory that they haven&#8217;t let go of or it&#8217;s a thought they can&#8217;t get out of their minds.\u00a0Has she had a previous experience where she fell and she is sort of re-experiencing that? Maybe it happened a week ago maybe it happened a year ago, but something about this environment is triggering that memory, possibly. What is the language? What is she saying to herself? How does she interpret this event? Is this a \u201cbig\u201d event and is she attaching\u00a0so much meaning to it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH<\/strong>: <em>Tell us more about what it means to attach meaning to an event and how it affects performance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF<\/strong>: Attachment of meaning, that\u2019s a phrase I like to use when it\u2019s an event that\u2019s bigger than normal or for whatever reason you just want to do really, really well in. You\u2019re doing something that is telling your body there is a potential threat if it doesn\u2019t work out. Any time we interpret a situation as threatening we\u2019re increasing the likelihood of the body and brain chemistry changing so much so that we feel the effects of that. If we get too high of an effect we\u2019re going to perform less than what we desire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH<\/strong>: <em>How does the amount of competitive experience impact performance anxiety?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF<\/strong>: There could be athletes that have anxiety a year from now or two years from now who say, \u2018Well that\u2019s normal anxiety, no problem.\u2019 But because someone is new to the competitive world he or she is experiencing something that\u2019s unique. There\u2019s an overreaction to the physiological symptoms. So that could be another thing, a misinterpretation of symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH<\/strong>: <em>How common is a misinterpretation of symptoms?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF<\/strong>: It\u2019s very common. Every athlete who comes in here, I would say 95 percent of them, have no idea what\u2019s happening to their bodies when they perform. I just had somebody in here with test anxiety and somebody with basic performance anxiety in a sport and it\u2019s the same thing. There are normal physiological sympathetic nervous system arousal changes that occur in the body and the athletes don\u2019t know why or what or how (it\u2019s happening), and they certainly don\u2019t know how to react to it. Once you teach the way to respond to those initial symptoms they\u2019re not going to be as prominent in your mind body and overall performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH:<\/strong> <em>What are physiological symptoms of performance anxiety that athletes need to be aware of?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF:<\/strong> It goes from your head to your toes really. Certainly there may be an increase in sweat. There might be an increase in heart rate and their stomachs might hurt. The digestive system is impacted. The respiratory system is impacted. They may have racing thoughts they can\u2019t shut down or shut off. Their blood flow changes so they might get a little light headed or dizzy. I had an athlete who was on my golf team this year and he won in a sudden death play off. He told me afterward that he thought he was going to throw up. And that\u2019s just, sadly, a very normal physiological response to at least a perception of a very important situation for someone. As long as you understand that, you can manage it through breath work and self-talk primarily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH:<\/strong> <em>What athletes focus on and what part of the brain they activate while performing is extremely important. Can you tell us more about that?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF:<\/strong> Some professionals have talked about the conscious mind as mind 1 and subconscious mind as mind 2. The whole object is to get rid of the interference from mind 1 so that mind 2 can surface. Mind 2 is really the subconscious mind that you wire through repetitive behaviors. With those repetitions you are able to create confidence. We\u2019re trying to make sure that nothing interferes with that. I think if we can get ourselves there as athletes, whether it\u2019s on the ice, the beam, the course or court, it\u2019s the best place to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH:<\/strong> <em>Tell us more about how the conscious mind affects performance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF: <\/strong>The conscious mind, or left brain &#8211; this is the part of the mind that interferes with performance. The conscious mind lights up after falling (or making a mistake.) Like any athlete knows, once an error or mistake or flaw surfaces, there is a fear of that happening again. Not for all athletes, but I would say for many athletes. So when you have that kind of negative self-talk and you have that conscious mind being highlighted, one would typically find lots of fear, negative apprehensive sort of language that occurs. If that person gets back on the beam and its proceeded by the worrisome, negative, pessimistic self-talk the likelihood of her falling off again increases because what she\u2019s doing is reinforcing negative event. So that would not be the part of the mind that I would want stimulated and activated after a mistake.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>CH:<\/em><\/strong><em> What is the benefit of having athletes like the girl in the animation, activate their subconscious mind during an event?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF:<\/strong> All of the great beam work that she has performed in the last many, many years are stored in that subconscious memory and the only way to get those back out is to shut down the conscious mind. So if she were my athlete and I were able to communicate with her after she fell, we would not be talking about what do you need to think to be able to do this again? It would be, &#8220;Let\u2019s picture you performing that way that you\u2019ve always performed successfully.&#8221; We\u2019d create a picture in her mind of a routine that is successful. We would talk about the images associated with that and the feelings associated with that. Now the self-talk can be beneficial here by using other kinds of language that bring out some of those successful performances. Things like, <em>I can do this. Let\u2019s get back on. I have a great routine. I\u2019m going to perform<\/em>. Those thoughts, paired with that sort of subconscious right brain activity, are going to be better for her to get back on quickly and rely on her muscle memory. We want to remove all the interference that\u2019s taking place right now in the conscious mind and let her performance be dictated by what her body is equipped to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CH<\/strong>: <em>Why is it better for athletes to use imagery over words and phrases to overcome performance anxiety?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JF<\/strong>: Because the picture activates the subconscious mind or the right brain. When you\u2019re thinking in terms of pictures that right brain which is the brain that we want working as an athlete is activated. When we\u2019re thinking it\u2019s more the left brain that\u2019s activated and we kind of want to stay away from that. When athletes are thinking, they\u2019re usually not thinking the right things. They\u2019re not using the right language and even when they think they\u2019re using the right language they\u2019re not and they\u2019re confusing the subconscious.<\/p>\n<div id=\"featurecaption\">Photo at Top: A gymnast experiencing performance anxiety, but she knows how to overcome it.
