<ul>
	<li>Think of self-talk as an athlete&#39;s inner voice.</li>
	<li>It&#39;s the little pep-talks, or discouragements, that athletes tell themselves.</li>
	<li>It might be invisible and quiet to others, but it&#39;s LOUD and can impact an athlete&#39;s self-view, confidence, and performance.</li>
</ul>

🌍 Real-world example: Imagine a runner about to start a race thinking, &quot;I can&#39;t do this.&quot; vs. &quot;I&#39;ve trained hard, I&#39;ve got this!&quot;

<ul>
	<li>Positive self-talk boosts performance.</li>
	<li>Negative self-talk? A big no-no, it drags you down.</li>
</ul>

🌍 Real-world example: An ice-skater telling herself, &quot;I&#39;ll nail this jump&quot; vs. &quot;I always mess this up.&quot;

<ul>
	<li>You can&#39;t fix a problem if you don&rsquo;t know it exists!</li>
	<li>Be aware of your inner voice.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Thought Logs: Like a diary but for your thoughts. Classify them: positive, negative, or neutral.</li>
	<li>Thought Stopping: Yell &quot;STOP!&quot; in your mind or visualize a big red &quot;STOP&quot; sign when negativity creeps in.</li>
	<li>Cognitive Restructuring: Basically, it&rsquo;s giving your thoughts a positive makeover.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Self-talk isn&rsquo;t just a pre-game pep talk. It can be used before, during, and after a performance.</li>
	<li>Knowing when and where to use self-talk is crucial.</li>
</ul>

🌍 Real-world example: A golfer using positive self-talk during his pre-shot routine to stay focused and calm.

<ul>
	<li>Sport Psychology Misconceptions: Can you debunk 4 common myths?</li>
	<li>Psychological Skills and Performance: Any evidence they&#39;re linked? How?</li>
	<li>Goal Setting: Why does it work? Think about motivations and targets.</li>
	<li>Olympic Goals: What are three goals Olympians might have? (Hint: It&#39;s not just about the gold!)</li>
	<li>Effective Goal Setting: If you were training, what steps would you follow to set your goals?</li>
	<li>Imagery: What&#39;s the difference between internal and external imagery in sports?</li>
	<li>Uses of Imagery: Can you think of two scenarios in a gym where imagery helps?</li>
	<li>Lang&rsquo;s Bio-informational Theory (1977): Dive deep and understand why imagery plays a role in performance.</li>
	<li>PETTLEP (Holmes, Collins 2001): Can you decode this acronym related to imagery?</li>
	<li>PETTLEP Imagery Guidelines: How would you apply these in an imagery training scenario?</li>
	<li>Relaxation Techniques: Let&#39;s compare two methods. Which is better and when?</li>
	<li>Pre-Game Relaxation: Good or bad? Discuss the pros and cons of chilling out before a big game.</li>
	<li>Psychological Skills Training Basics: Time for a deep dive. Write about its concepts, and list out some key skills with real-world applications.</li>
</ul>

Remember, your brain is like a muscle. The more you train it, the stronger it gets!
