Woodball Mental Exercises

Abstract

Woodball achievement is inseparable from several factors, including physical, technical, mental, and tactics factors. Mental factors need special attention from coaches and psychologists, so the performance of woodball athletes can be improved. Mental is influenced by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors involve physiological and psychological factors. Outside factors involve mass audience, confusing stimuli, opponents who are not equal, the presence / absence of the trainer, the presence/absence of a person (presence of parent, family, lover or certain people), and heavy task before competing. For controlling these factors, it requires mental training and the best stages of mental exercise are: 1. Psychological examination, 2. Preliminary counseling, 3. Setting goals, 4. Establishing positive attitudes and ways of thinking, 5. Relaxation exercises, 6. Concentration exercises, 7. Visualization exercises and 8. Evaluation of mental training programs.
