In the world of sport and exercise performance, much of our abilities and accomplishments are directly related to our psychological power and abilities to engage and persevere toward our goals and dreams. Many hours of physical training and practice are invested in gymnasiums, on fields and courts so the benefits can be realized in the game. But the physical strength and stamina acquired and the development of coordination and skills performance are wasted, if the athlete's psychological realm is not managed with precision. Proficiently managing stress and anxiety during competition is vital to a satisfying performance experience.
Our men and women police officers and firefighters require much of the same physical development and attention to skills performance as athletes. These skills are acquired in basic training academies and further developed throughout their careers. Various assignments in public safety services bring about new skills sets and mind-body coordination for our emergency responders. But game day for the emergency responder are embedded in disaster and crisis. Therefore, managing stress and anxiety during missions and assignments centered around saving and rescuing others is vital to the service of their communities. Individual and collective psychological skills can enhance the performance of the knowledge, skills and abilities of our police and fire professionals.
Performing artists, musicians, dancers and actors are often in fierce competition for positions in performing groups and parts in performances. The competition and often times subjective selection process, can leave a performer discouraged and unmotivated following a "cut" from the audition. Performing one's art publicly can also bring on distracting anxiety that undermines optimal and satisfying expression through performance. "Choking" during a performance or experiencing the "domino effect" of mistakes during a public performance can be distressing. Principles of sport and performance psychology can enable the performer to better manage and control his or her performance and increase artistic satisfaction.
Finally, whether athlete, exerciser, police officer, firefighter, or performing artist, all have family and social lives that can enhance and support their worlds or inhibit and interfere with it. Learning communication, problem solving, and other relationship skills can empower the person and allow him or her to excel in achieving success.
