Managing arousal and anxiety

Anxiety is experienced by every sports person. It's the thoughts and physical sensations that go with being agitated, nervous or worried.

When your anxiety levels are too high in sport you become distracted and unable to perform at your best. If your arousal level is too low you will lack energy and motivation. These tracks will help you manage your anxiety and arousal to stay relaxed, focused and achieve your best in sport.
