When I read the first line, I got anxious to find out how your initial description of sports psychology changed. However, you concluded the essay in a similar tone. Nevertheless, your essay was able to offer more insight into the applicability of sports psychology and broadened the perceived thought of it being a field for professional athletes only. The goal studying the topic is to gain knowledge on how psychological elements influence the physical performance of an individual and to gain insight on the effects of sport’s participation on psychological development and health, (Weinberg & Gould, 2014). The essay is clear on your agenda with a simple structure, which is easy to understand. However, it is not clear whether you attained the goal of enhancing your motivation to work out on a regular basis. The general sentence structures require reviewing, especially in the use of adverbs, which act as modifiers rather than to start sentences. The concepts are well presented, but you should try to explain the measures you undertook to personally apply them into healthy lifestyle living.

Time management is an important factor to consider especially to a student because you need to manage through course work and exams. While anxiety and nervousness is a common feeling before sitting for a test, it only occurs for a short period before the actual testing begins and therefore I think it is not something to worry about.

The best option is for you to be able to convert that naivety and anxiety into positive energy to enhance your performance. Preparation for any test is very crucial. It allows one to be cautious of time constraints and minimizes anxiety associated with an inadequate laying of groundwork, (CBEST, n.d.). I recommend you work on your time management skills and prioritize tasks. You quoted that you perform well in academic settings and therefore try approaching other tests in that already established best practice that guarantee excellence in your academics. Nevertheless, your essay presented a good flow that is easy to follow and the measures that you are taking to overcome anxiety. The concepts are clearly stated and the steps you are taking very reasonable.

Sports psychology is a subtopic in kinesiology, which focuses on human physical movements, (Gill, Williams, & Reifsteck, 2017). Sporting and other physical activities involve an individual’s behavior. Psychology consequently tries to understand human behavior and their thought process. The essay responds to the subject matter in depth and you focused on establishing facts and the teams’ cognition towards approaching your training sessions. The sentence structures are well defined and they include clarity in an easy to understand format. Keywords are significantly explained and you included the mitigation measures that the team is undertaking to enhance performance. Variation in sentence length and style ensure that the sentences are easy to follow and comprehend. I conquer with your essay findings especially because it offers insight on emotional approach to physical activities and the influence negative energy has on the general performance towards accomplishing a goal. However, you should consider reviewing the work after completion to address some grammar issues, which arise as I read the essay. In general, you were thorough in addressing the subject and undertaking research to support your argument.
