Auto-dialog I
The self, self-talk or just "talking to oneself is the key to thought control.
Many authors argue that runs best when "not intended", com is the case of the famous book by Tim Gallwey "The inner game of tennis", which emphasizes the automatic and unconscious functions of the execution. However, athletes are always thinking something, both in executions and in training. Depending on the content of such thoughts can affect self-confidence, self-concept and behavior.
However, we agree with Keith Bell in his book "Championship Thinking" which holds that the question is not whether or not to think, but what, when and how to think.
self-talk (commonly known as "self") is involved in multiple aspects of competitive sport.
self-talk for the acquisition of skills
As an athlete acquires skills, your self-talk is changing, so For example, when learning the words are used as a reference signal for the performance: return in tennis, soccer satin finish, arms straight and elbows in golf, etc ... are all signs that help to consider technical issues must be executed.
As skills are mastered, the internal dialogue becomes shorter and the skills are being automated (performed without conscious control). However, when skills are mastered, the self-talk focus to other issues such as strategy or emotional states, as long as the preparatory aspect of implementation.
self-talk to change bad habits Change of habit
means unlearning behavior autorun consolidated to replace it with a new one. In this case the self-talk is essential and depends on the type of behavior to replace.
For example, if a tennis player is trying to change the two-handed backhand into the one-handed backhand, you must redirect orally every aspect of the new hit, however, if the change comes down to picking the ball back and hit a shortly before supporting the most weight on the front foot, then a simple signal can be all it takes.
is essential that in these cases, self-talk for a change of habit, the player will discuss the desirable aspects (Which themselves do) and avoid talk about what not to do.
self-talk to the attention control
The most important aspect of attentional control through self-talk is just "thinking mind" in the here and now, what is happening. The past and future do not have any relation with what is happening right now, so can harm rather than help, a lack of focus in the present.
Mood Control
Researchers have found that emotional signals can promote significant changes in performance. For example, runners who say "quick" or "we" increase your speed. Golfers use in your swing thoughts such as "fluid" or "slider" produce swings that seem to appear smoother and more controlled. Powerful words like "butt", "hits" and "we" are important aids in explosive movements.
Each word has an emotional quality that is linked to the quality of movement or its contents. The use of emotional signals directly can help direct the best potential for best execution.
effort Control Self-talk can be an effective practice to help maintain energy and persistence. It can be difficult for some athletes to start training in the morning or the early stages of the competition. Others may find it difficult to change the pace or maintain the effort. Phrases like "let's go for it", "easy", "get ready", "break it", "cool it", "hold on", "push", "continue" and "well" can be very effective in controlling effort (Harris and Harris).
Affirmations for confidence building
The way athletes think about themselves reflects the degree of self-confidence and behavior. Believing in oneself is capacitation, as it gives people freedom to use their talents fully. People are only able to do what he thinks he can do. A kind of self that evokes positive feelings and behaviors is the use of affirmative statements. Affirmations are statements that reflect attitudes and positive thoughts about yourself. If used frequently, promote confidence in the ability to do any action that has been affirmed. Muhammed Ali and Martina Navratilova used expressions like "I am the greatest" because they believed.
"I'm as strong as a bull", "flying down to the finish", "really I can win under pressure, "are good examples of positive affirmations.
In the same way we talk about the team slogan.
