Write an essay of no more than 1000 words with the following title:
The Role Of Sport Psychology In The facilitation Of Anger Management.
This is my Essay aimed and focused on the role of sports psychology in the facilitation of anger management. In this essay I would like to show a clear definition of anger management and a clear definition of aggressive behaviour, I would like to discuss what exactly the contributing factors are as to the influence upon behaviour. One topic of conversation may be as to what are the beginnings of anger? How exactly does it start and how do you begin to stop it or prohibit it gradually. Other questions I may ask are does age affect it? How do you approach it without making the problem worse? Which athletes have been affected in the past? Why have they been affected? Where was the control? What are the considerations or skills that the sports psychologist needs to show or use with the client? Children in particular are of concern in this essay as I think it is important to discuss what they need and how they may be affected in order to possibly combat the anger and therefore stop it happening in adult life. If it could be identified in childhood it could make very good influential athletes but how? The first took look at when identifying anger and defining it is expression, the way a client expresses anger says a lot about them for instance when they express anger you can hopefully identify where the anger comes from say depression or frustration and decreased performance ability. According to reading anger can be very negative for the athlete it will seriously prohibit there performance and could stop them reaching their goals. What I have just said makes me think back to reinforcement can you? Are you able to counter negative anger with positive reinforcement? I think so. An example of
