Chapter 18 - Perparing for your exams 

🚀 Make sure your seatbelts are buckled because we&#39;re diving deep into the human brain during sports! 🧠🎾

<ul>
	<li>Stress: That feeling when you&#39;re about to face your arch-rival team. It&#39;s like your body&#39;s &quot;alarm&quot; system.</li>
	<li>Arousal: Think of it as your body&#39;s volume control. Too low, and you&#39;re snoozing on the field. Too high, and you might fumble because you&#39;re too pumped.</li>
	<li>Anxiety: Remember when you felt those butterflies in your stomach? Yep, that&#39;s it!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Sports isn&#39;t just about scoring. It&#39;s a lesson on handling real-world stress and anxiety.</li>
	<li>Real-world Example: Imagine having to give a presentation. The nerves you feel are similar to pre-match jitters!</li>
	<li>Physical relaxation might help with an exam, but in sports, you need some of that &quot;buzz&quot; to keep you going!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The way we react to stress depends on our mental tango with the stress source.</li>
	<li>Did you know? 🤔 You can train your brain to deal with anxiety better!</li>
	<li>Example: It&#39;s like practicing a tough move in a sport. The more you do it, the better you get!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Q1: What&#39;s the difference between stress, arousal, and anxiety?</li>
	<li>Q2: Humans have unique responses to stress. Why is Selye&#39;s idea not universally accepted?</li>
	<li>Q3: Ever heard of the Inverted-U theory about arousal and performance? Can you spot its criticisms?</li>
	<li>Q4: Imagine a graph 📊. Now plot how your anxiety and arousal change as competition day approaches.</li>
	<li>Q5: Stress symptoms! Can you name two for each category: physiology, biochemistry, emotions, cognitions, behavior?</li>
	<li>Q6: Working memory is like RAM in computers. How does it relate to sports performance?</li>
	<li>Q7: Match the terms! Pair &quot;Effort, Performance levels, Cognitive anxiety, Efficiency&quot; with the right statements.</li>
	<li>Q8: If you were researching stress and anxiety, what issues might pop up?</li>
</ul>

Homework (just kidding, but it&#39;s good for you!): Take a sport you&#39;re familiar with. Think about a time when you or someone you know felt stress or anxiety during the game. How did it affect the performance? How could you use what you&#39;ve learned today to handle it better next time?
